About this map

Doylestown sits at the center of this detailed survey, surrounded by the agricultural and industrial landscape of Wayne and Summit counties. The area's mid-century development is visible through the expansion of major thoroughfares like U S 21 and the construction of Chippewa High Sch. A defining industrial feature is the Chippewa Underground Gas Storage Field, which spans a significant portion of the Chippewa Creek valley. This intersection of energy infrastructure and rural life is further evidenced by the many gas wells scattered across the terrain near Easton and Marshallville.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several country churches and burial grounds such as Chestnut Hill Cem, Harvey Sch Cem, and Maple Grove Cem. The map documents the vital rail corridors of the era, specifically the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Penn Central, which parallel watercourses like the Tuscarawas River and Red Run. From the established residential streets of Norton to the recreational waters of Fox Lake, this map provides a clear picture of Northeast Ohio's evolving physical and social geography.
