About this map

The Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad corridor anchors this mid-century portrait of the Stark and Tuscarawas county borderlands, connecting industrial nodes like Brewster and Justus with the rural interior. This era shows the landscape in transition, where established mining operations like Tiger Mine and Fox Mine operate alongside a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including Brush College Sch and Goat Hill Sch.

A notable geographic feature is the Beach City Reservoir, which collects the waters of the South Fork and Sugar Creek. The map also preserves the historical Treaty Line cutting across the terrain, a significant boundary from Ohio's early settlement period. From the hilltop community of Mt Eaton to the rail junction at Harmon, the sheet provides a detailed view of the small-town and rural school infrastructure that defined East Central Ohio before mid-century consolidation.
