About this map

Navarre and the surrounding villages of Brewster and Strasburg anchor this 1914 survey, which reveals a landscape defined by industrial rail lines and significant historical survey markers. The Treaty Line Military Boundary and North Greenville Boundary cut across the terrain, reflecting the early American division of these lands. The region's transport network is highly developed for the era, featuring the Pennsylvania System and the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroads, alongside specialized lines like the Cleveland and Terminal Electric.

Resource extraction and rural education are central to the community's layout, with the Fox Mine operating near the Tuscarawas River and dozens of local schoolhouses, such as Boone School and McFarren School, serving the scattered townships. The intricate drainage of Sugar Creek is captured just before major hydrological changes, showing the early footprint of the Sugar Creek Reservoir and its impact on the surrounding valley farms.
