About this map

The boundary between Holmes and Coshocton Counties cuts through this rural landscape, anchored by the community of New Bedford. This area of Ohio is defined by its deep cultural and religious roots, evidenced by the numerous country cemeteries and parish grounds such as Sheplers Evangelical Cem and the Saint Johns Evangelical Lutheran Cem. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Doughty Cr and W Fork White Eyes Cr, which have shaped the valleys and hollows of the region.

Smaller hamlets and landmarks like Becks Mills, Troyer Hollow, and Chili provide historical touchpoints for researchers tracing family ties to these townships. The map reveals a high concentration of family-named landmarks and rural burial sites, from Oak Hill Cem in the north to Knob Cem and Burkhardt Cem further south. This network of township and county roads connects these isolated rural features, preserving a spatial record of a community that remains tied to its agricultural and theological heritage.
