1961 Map of Waynesburg
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Industrial extraction and rural life define this area at the intersection of Stark, Carroll, and Tuscarawas counties. Numerous Strip Mines and active Gas Wells dot the hillsides, particularly surrounding Howenstine and North Industry. The landscape is structured by the confluence of Nimishillen Creek and Sandy Creek, where the Pennsylvania RR and Baltimore and Ohio RR converge. Local heritage is evident in the many family-named landmarks and rural congregations like Mt Zion Ch and Centenary Chapel. The village of Magnolia serves as a central hub, flanked by the Magnolia Airport and the sprawling Evergreen Cemetery. Notably, the southern portion of the sheet reveals the historical boundary of the United States Military District, which meets the Congress Lands and the Old Seven Ranges, reflecting early American land survey systems that still dictate property lines today.
