About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves a wide path through this portion of Tuscarawas County, defining the geography of Port Washington and the eastern edge of Newcomerstown. The landscape is a mix of broad floodplains like Nugent Bottom and steep, family-named ridges such as Stocker Ridge and Moores Hill. These highlands are marked by distinctive geological features including Umbrella Rock and Elephant Knob. The map highlights a long history of settlement and land tenure, evidenced by the Stark Patent and numerous rural religious sites such as Wolf Salem Ch and Mt Zion Cem.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the valley floor, where Interstate 77 and U S 36 intersect near the Conrail lines. Sports history is preserved at the Cy Young Memorial Park, while the northern hills show the industrial footprint of a Strip Mine. From the waters of Memory Lake to the secluded reaches of Linden Valley, the sheet documenting this era shows a transition from traditional river-and-rail industry to modern transit corridors.
