1961 Map of Sugarcreek

About this map

The hills of Holmes and Tuscarawas Counties reveal a landscape defined by traditional agrarian settlements and the expansion of surface mining in the early 1960s. Winesburg and Walnut Creek serve as central nodes for the surrounding countryside, which is densely dotted with family-named landmarks like Miller-Mast Cem and Hershberger Cem. These small cemeteries and rural institutions, including the Swiss Ch and Siding Hill Sch, reflect the deeply rooted community heritage of the Ohio Amish Country.
