About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves through the southern portion of this landscape, defining the character of the valley floor where The Plains and West Lafayette are situated. This area reflects a dense pattern of early rural settlement, characterized by numerous family-named burial grounds and small communities connected by winding township roads. Along the northern reaches, Bakersville serves as a local hub near Hothem Ridge, while the central terrain is deeply dissected by the White Eyes Creek and its branches, including the East Fork White Eyes Creek. The concentration of sites like Woods College and Clapboard Cem provides significant points of interest for those tracing the social and educational geography of this part of Ohio. The transition from the alluvial flats of Shady Bend to the surrounding ridges like Chestnut Ridge illustrates the historic reliance on river proximity for transit and agriculture.
