About this map

Stone Creek serves as a central hub in this Tuscarawas County landscape, situated at the confluence of several rural valleys. The area is defined by its deep agricultural and religious roots, evidenced by congregations at St Johns Ch (Luth), St Jacobs Ch, and Crooked Run Ch. The map records a transition from traditional rail transport to modern infrastructure, where an Old RR Grade runs parallel to the newer interstate corridor, passing through the hamlet of Blackband.

Upland ridges are accessed via a network of family-named routes like Boltz Road and Stucky Valley Road. To the northeast, the settlement of Yorktown sits near the banks of the namesake Stone Creek, while the presence of a Strip Mine and scattered Oil Well sites indicates the region's long-standing reliance on resource extraction. This survey preserves the locations of early cemeteries including Deitz Cem and Salem Cem, alongside civic landmarks like the Townhall in Joyce.
