2023 Map of Newcomerstown

About this map

Newcomerstown and Port Washington serve as the primary hubs in this valley landscape, where the Tuscarawas River carves a path through the hills of eastern Ohio. The river's influence is seen in the naming of fertile lowlands like Nugent Bottom and Stark Patent Bottom, while the surrounding terrain is defined by elevations such as Elephant Knob and Sigel Johns Hill. Smaller settlements and junctions like Coalport, Mizers, and Bernice dot the map, connected by a network of county and township roads that follow the drainage patterns of Buckhorn Creek and Wolf Creek. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of local burial grounds, including South Street Cem in the heart of Newcomerstown and Union Cem near Port Washington, alongside rural sites like Bethel Cem and Dye Cem that mark the established history of this rural region.
