1962 Map of Gnadenhutten

About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves a deep valley through this portion of Tuscarawas County, dictating the settlement patterns and industrial infrastructure of the early 1960s. The village of Gnadenhutten sits on the river's northern bend, anchored by the Pennsylvania railroad and the Gnadenhutten Monument (Cemetery). This area reveals a landscape in transition, where traditional small-town life at Seventeen and Gilmore exists alongside an expanding extractive economy, evidenced by numerous Strip Mines, Kilns, and Gravel Pits dotting the hillsides. The map is a rich resource for genealogists, detailing several country churches like Frys Valley Ch and West Union Ch, as well as family and community landmarks such as Brown Cem and Rush Sch. Moving south from the river, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, with Murphy Hollow and Pleasant Valley cutting through the uplands near the Grange Hall.
