About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves through the heart of this Stark County landscape, anchoring a dense network of suburban developments and long-standing neighborhoods. Around the city of Massillon, distinct residential pockets such as Amherst Heights, Charity Rotch, and Sippo Heights illustrate the modern layout of this industrial river valley. Significant genealogical resources are concentrated here, including the expansive Massillon Cem and historical sites like the Old Kendall Cem and Old Quaker Cem, which point to the area's early settlement layers and diverse denominational history.

West of the river, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of smaller communities like West Brookfield and North Lawrence. Natural features like Jackson Bog and Crystal Lakes remain preserved among the expanding grid of residential streets. The mapping of Moffitt Heights, Lawndale, and Columbia highlights the continued growth of the western suburbs, while drainage patterns from Newman Cr and Wolf Cr define the surrounding rural-fringe topography.
