About this map

Strasburg stands as a hub of transport and industry in this detailed study of the Tuscarawas County landscape. The area is defined by the heavy footprint of clay and coal extraction, with numerous Strip Mines, Quarries, and Kilns scattered across the hillsides of Franklin and Wayne townships. The arrival of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads facilitated this industrial growth, while the Beach City Lake and Sugar Creek drainage provided the necessary water resources.

Rural life is marked by a network of community centers such as Dundee, Winfield, and Loudon. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds and churches, including Broad Run Cem, Miller Cem, and Bunker Hill Ch. The presence of a Drive-in Theater and Golf Course near Winklepleck Grove Park indicates the mid-century shift toward recreation alongside the region's traditional extractive economy.
