About this map

Uhrichsville and Dennison serve as the industrial and population hub of this landscape, where the confluence of Stillwater Creek and Little Stillwater Creek meets the heavy traffic of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. The topography is defined by the extraction economy of the mid-20th century, with numerous strip mines scarring the ridges of Warren and Union townships.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the St Marys Cem and Rockford Cem to rural schoolhouses like Maple Grove Sch. The map also preserves the unique surveying history of the region, clearly marking the Dohrman Grant Boundary and the borders where Tuscarawas, Carroll, and Harrison counties meet. Smaller settlements like Barnhill, Midvale, and Roswell are shown in detail, illustrating the dense network of mining villages and rail stops such as Station 15 that once supported the local coal industry.
