About this map

The rugged landscape of northwestern Coshocton County is captured here in the early 1960s, a region defined by steep ridges and a complex network of runs and creeks. The topographic detail reveals a landscape heavily shaped by extraction, with numerous quarries, gas wells, and several strip mines dotting the hillsides near Spring Mountain. Notable for local historians is the site of Fort Fizzle, a landmark associated with Civil War resistance in Richland Township.

Small rural settlements such as Stillwell and New Princeton serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural and mining communities. The area is dense with genealogical interest, featuring numerous remote burial grounds including McKee Cem, Monroe Cem, and Harmony Cem. Waterways like Wolf Creek and Beaver Run dictate the winding path of local roads, while high points like French Ridge offer prominent views across the township lines of Tiverton and Jefferson.
