About this map

Nimishillen Creek and Sandy Creek dominate this landscape at the intersection of Stark, Carroll, and Tuscarawas counties. In the post-war era, the region reflects a heavy industrial footprint, specifically through the numerous Strip Mine operations that pockmark the hillsides between North Industry and Waynesburg. The map documents a sophisticated transit and utility network, including the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central rail lines, alongside multiple pipelines and the historic Canal.

Settlements like Magnolia and East Sparta appear established with local landmarks such as Sandy Valley High Sch and the Magnolia Airport. Cultural and community markers are well-preserved in the data, from the Evergreen Cemetery near the county line to Mt Zion Ch in Canton. This survey, photorevised in the 1970s, captures the shifting land use as extractive industry moved across the terrain surrounding Howenstine and Battlesburg.
