2019 Map of Gnadenhutten

About this map

The Tuscarawas River valley defines the character of this region, serving as the primary corridor for infrastructure like US Rte 36 and the settlement of Gnadenhutten. The map reveals a landscape deeply carved by drainage systems, including Frys Cr and Watson Cr, creating a series of named landforms such as Fox Valley, Dutch Valley, and Murphy Hollow. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these hills, from the Gnadenhutten Cem near the river to more remote locations like Kennedy Cem and Hartwood Cem. In the village of Lock Seventeen, the name itself preserves the history of the Ohio and Erie Canal's path along the riverbanks, even as the landscape has transitioned to support modern needs like the Gnadenhutten Airport. Small rural centers like Gilmore and localized recreation at Lake Greenbriar complete the picture of this Tuscarawas County landscape.
