About this map

The Tuscarawas River valley defines the southern portion of this landscape, carving through a region marked by agricultural plateaus and rolling ridges. The settlement of West Lafayette sits near the river's edge, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads that connect small communities like Isleta, Orange, and Bakersville. This area is particularly rich in family and community burial grounds, such as the Bakersville Presbyterian Cem and the Corbit Swigert Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research.

Prominent geographical features like Chestnut Ridge and Progressive Valley dominate the central terrain, while the northern reaches transition into the borderlands between Tuscarawas and Coshocton counties. The map details a landscape of managed land and established homesteads, including named sites like Bickel Farms. Local waterways such as White Eyes Creek and Evans Creek provide the drainage for these valleys, illustrating the historical dependence of these settlements on the local river-and-run system for water and navigation.
