About this map

Uhrichsville and neighboring Dennison serve as the industrial anchors of this valley, where the convergence of Stillwater Creek and Little Stillwater Creek shaped the region's development. This survey reveals a landscape heavily marked by the extraction industry, with numerous Strip Mines and pits surrounding the rail-fed towns of Midvale, Barnhill, and Roswell. The presence of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads underscores the importance of coal transport during the mid-20th century.

Genealogists can identify key community institutions like the Fuhr Hospital, Central High Sch, and various houses of worship including Rockford Ch and the Christian Temple. Local landmarks such as the Prosperity Grange Hall and St Marys Cem appear alongside older infrastructure like the Old Grade and the Gaging Station on the creek. The map also delineates the intersections of Tuscarawas, Carroll, and Harrison counties, illustrating the rural-to-urban transition through Warren and Union townships.
