About this map

The rolling agricultural and suburban landscape of northern Stark County is anchored by Hartville, where the intersection of local history and modern development is visible in the network of family-named cemeteries and rural churches. To the north, Quail Hollow State Park and the private waters of Congress Lake define the terrain, while the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor serves as a spine connecting the smaller settlements of Mishler and Middlebranch.

Genealogical interest is abundant across this 1960s survey, with numerous country burial grounds such as Beechy Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and East Nimishillen Cem scattered among active farms. The landscape is further shaped by the drainage of the Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek and several specialized features like the Gravel Pit and numerous oil wells, reflecting the area's diverse mid-century economy of recreation, industry, and agriculture.
