About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of the Stark and Tuscarawas county border is defined by the heavy presence of rail lines and mining operations during the mid-twentieth century. The Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio railroads anchor the local economy, connecting settlements like Navarre, Brewster, and Beach City. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Beach City Reservoir and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, reflecting significant regional water management efforts.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the rural township lands, including Baptist Cem, German Cem, Slutz Cem, and Blough Cem. The prevalence of Strip Mines and numerous Mine Dumps indicates a region deeply tied to resource extraction. To the east, the Tuscarawas River flows past Rockville, while smaller communities such as Justus, Harmon, and Smoketown dot the intersections of historic local routes like Lawndell Road and Elton Street.
