About this map

Mount Eaton and Wilmot anchor this landscape at the intersection of Wayne, Stark, and Holmes counties. The terrain is marked by a legacy of rural infrastructure, including a network of country schools such as Sunny View Sch, Pleasant View Sch, and Meadow Valley Sch, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds like Hershberger Cem and Keim Cem. This 1961 survey captures the region just before the mid-century transition, showing the New York Chicago and St Louis railroad cutting through the northeast corner near Elton.

The historic Greenville Treaty Line bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a boundary for early 19th-century land surveys. Industry is present through several Strip Mine locations and a Sandpit near the Beach City Reservoir. The distribution of scattered Gas Well labels across the townships of Sugar Creek and Paint reveals the early development of local energy resources within this predominantly agricultural landscape.
