About this map

Stone Creek and the surrounding townships of Tuscarawas County are defined by a complex landscape of narrow valleys and industrial activity during this early 1970s revision. The Penn Central railroad serves as the primary corridor through the hills, connecting smaller settlements like Yorktown and Blackband to the wider region. The terrain is notably marked by extensive Strip Mine operations and numerous oil and gas wells, reflecting the area's heavy reliance on natural resource extraction.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of local landmarks, including several country churches and their associated grounds such as Jerusalem Ch, St Johns Ch, and Salem Ch. Waterways like Sugar Creek and Oldtown Creek carve through the ridges, shaping the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries like Deitz Cem. The 1971 revisions, highlighted in purple, provide a specific view of modern infrastructure changes including the path of a major Pipeline through York and Jefferson townships.
