About this map

The Tuscarawas River winds through this Tuscarawas County landscape, defining the industrial and agricultural character of the early 1960s. The village of Gnadenhutten serves as a primary hub, marked by the Gnadenhutten Monument, a significant site of local memory. To the west, the curious settlement of Seventeen sits along the Pennsylvania railroad line, while the southern reaches of the map around Gilmore are dominated by a sprawling Oil Field and multiple pipelines, reflecting the region's mid-century energy production.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Rush Sch and Camp Zimmerman to scattered rural congregations like Frys Valley Ch and Canaan Hill Ch. The dissected plateau terrain is dotted with family-named locations such as Murphy Hollow and Toad Hol, alongside several Strip Mines that highlight the area's extractive history. The network of small cemeteries, including Crossroads Cem and River Hill Cem, provides a detailed record of the families settled across Clay and Rush townships.
