About this map

Congress Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Stark County region, where the Norfolk and Western railway links the bustling village of Hartville to smaller rural centers. This 1960s-era topographic study, updated through the late 1970s, reveals a countryside defined by deep-rooted family landmarks and agricultural industry. Cultural life is anchored by numerous country houses of worship including Beechy Ch, East Nimishillen Ch, and Werner Ch, alongside local cemeteries such as Oak Grove Cem and Machamer Cem.

A notable shift in the land's utility is visible near Cairo, where a Reclaimed Strip Mine sits alongside the winding path of Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek. The map records a complex network of township roads like Pontius Street and Lover Street, tracing the boundaries between Suffield, Marlboro, and Nimishillen. These details provide a clear view of the area's transition from traditional farming toward more varied land use, including multiple golf courses and the development of Lake O'Pines.
