About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves a winding path through this early 1960s landscape, anchoring the industrial and civic development of New Philadelphia and its satellite communities. The city is a hub of mid-century infrastructure, featuring the Municipal Airport, the Courthouse, and recreational spaces like Tuscora Park. Evidence of the region's earlier transportation history is visible in the traces of the Ohio Canal (Aband), which parallels the river.

Outside the main urban center, the map reveals a rugged landscape defined by numerous valleys such as Sharon Valley and Lanes Valley, where smaller settlements like Wainwright and Midvale are located. The area’s extractive economy is clearly documented through numerous Strip Mines, Claypits, and a Gravel Pit. Cultural and genealogical landmarks are plentiful, including the Schoenbrunn State Memorial, St Peters Ch, and several well-established burial grounds like Evergreen Burial Park.
