About this map

Waynesburg and the southern border of Stark County are depicted here in a landscape defined by the intersection of three counties and the winding course of Sandy Creek. The village of Magnolia straddles the line into Carroll County, while Sandyville sits just across the boundary in Tuscarawas County. This map documents a region deeply rooted in local history, evidenced by the high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Old Pioneer Cem and Farber Knotts Cem.

Industrial and municipal footprints are visible along the corridor of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, including the City of Canton Sludge Pond and settlements like East Sparta and Howenstine. The terrain transitions from the valley floors of Nimishillen Creek and Hypocrite Run toward the elevated heights of Sponsellers Hill, showing how 21st-century development like Goodland Acres fits into the established rural framework of cemeteries and small-town junctions.
