1909 Map of Uhrichsville

About this map

The Tuscarawas River and the winding Stillwater Creek dominate the landscape of this eastern Ohio region at the turn of the century. The twin cities of Uhrichsville and Dennison serve as a significant rail hub, where the P C C and St L RR meets the regional line. Industrial and transport history is deeply etched into the valley, notably through the presence of the Ohio Canal and Lock No 17 Seventeen PO, which reflect an era of water-based commerce transitioning to a dominant rail network. Numerous rural settlements like Gnadenhutten, Barnhill, and Wainwright are scattered among the ridges, supported by a dense network of country schools such as Grange Hill School and Sunny Hollow School. The map also identifies the County Infirmary and the Philadelphia Road Station 15 PO, providing researchers with precise locations for civic and postal history.
