2013 Map of Gnadenhutten

About this map

The Tuscarawas River valley defines this landscape, where the village of Gnadenhutten and the settlement of Lock Seventeen sit along the river's bend. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex topography of the Allegheny Plateau, marked by numerous hollows and valleys like Murphy Hollow, Dutch Valley, and Toad Hollow. The mapping reveals a high density of ancestral burial sites for genealogists, including Schweitzer Cem, Crossroads Cem, and W Union Cem. Transportation corridors are well-established here, with the Gnadenhutten Airport situated near the village and Us-36 cutting through the northern valley. To the south, the terrain becomes more dissected as the road network thins toward Gilmore and Pleasant Valley, where small waterways like Fallen Timber Cr and Phillips Fork drain the high ridges. The map effectively captures the intersection of historical settlement patterns and the physical geography of rural Ohio.
