1962 Map of Warsaw

About this map

The Walhonding River winds through this portion of Coshocton County, its course significantly altered by the massive Mohawk Dam. This dry-reservoir flood control project, part of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, dominates the northwestern landscape. The settlement patterns reflect a transition from 19th-century river-and-rail industry to modern conservation, with several communities like Nellie and Warsaw situated along the valley floor. To the south, the terrain rises toward Tunnel Hill, where the land is characterized by steeper ridges and small rural settlements like West Bedford. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including Valley View Cem and West Bedford Cem. Evidence of past infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that skirts the river, while the Woodbury Wildlife Area indicates a shift toward managed natural spaces in the later 20th century.
