About this map

Winesburg and Walnut Creek anchor this survey of the Holmes County and Tuscarawas County borderlands, an area defined by its tight-knit rural settlements and extensive genealogical records. The landscape is dotted with numerous family farm cemeteries, including the Moses J Miller Farm Cem and Henry Beachy Farm Cem, which reflect the region's deep ancestral roots. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Walnut Cr and Goose Cr, where small communities like Trail and Barrs Mills are connected by an intricate network of township roads.

In the southern portion of the map, Shanesville and Sugarcreek appear as established hubs, featuring institutional landmarks like the Shanesville First Reformed Cem. The presence of the Walnut Creek Mennonite Cem further illustrates the specific cultural and religious heritage of this corner of Ohio. This survey captures the transition from high ridgeline roads to the fertile valley floors that have sustained these communities for generations.
