2016 Map of Gnadenhutten

About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves a deep valley through this portion of Tuscarawas County, serving as the primary corridor for both the Ohio Central RR and modern highways. The village of Gnadenhutten sits on the river's eastern bank, surrounded by a landscape of high ridges and named hollows like Toad Hollow and Murphy Hollow. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous small cemeteries such as Frys Valley Cem and West Union Cem are tucked into the upland folds between the river and the settlement of Gilmore. Smaller water bodies like Lake Greenbriar and Lake Page punctuate the higher elevations. The infrastructure of the river valley is further defined by the Gnadenhutten Airport and the historic location of Lock Seventeen, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a transit point through the Appalachian foothills.
