2016 Map of Newcomerstown

About this map

Newcomerstown and Port Washington anchor this modern landscape along the banks of the Tuscarawas River, where the historic transportation corridors of Ohio’s river valleys continue to shape local development. The presence of numerous burial sites, including Union Cemeteries, Moravian Cem, and the East State Street Cem, reflects a deep genealogical footprint in this part of Tuscarawas County. Beyond the primary river valley, smaller settlements like Glasgow, Wolf, and Bernice are situated among a series of named ridges and knobs. Distinctive geographical landmarks such as Umbrella Rock, Elephant Knob, and Backus Knob rise above the surrounding terrain, while agricultural tracts like the Stark Patent Bottom and Nugent Bottom occupy the fertile floodplains. The network of township roads and county highways connects these rural outposts to the larger centers of Mizers and Coalport, tracing the path of the river and the Railroad Street corridor.
