2013 Map of Mineral City

About this map

Mineral City and its surrounding hill country occupy a complex landscape where the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad tracks follow the winding course of Huff Run. The map detail reveals a high concentration of burial grounds, from the Mineral City Catholic Cem to the isolated Harmony Cem, reflecting the early pioneer and ethnic settlement patterns across the Tuscarawas and Carroll County border. To the south, the waters of Atwood Lake and the Indian Fork have created a recreation-focused geography, evidenced by the North Shore Cottage Area and Glens Cottage Area. These lakeside developments contrast with the traditional farming and mining hamlets like Somerdale, Lindentree, and New Cumberland, providing a detailed look at how the region's economy shifted from extraction and agriculture toward twentieth-century water management and seasonal residency.
