About this map

The Greenville Treaty Line bisects the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant historical boundary in the settlement of the Ohio frontier. Centered on the junction of Wayne, Stark, and Holmes counties, the area features a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions during the early 1960s. Small agricultural hubs like Mount Eaton and Wilmot are surrounded by numerous community centers, including Beach Grove Sch and Longenecker Ch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many small burial grounds such as Hershberger Cem and Keim Cem. The terrain is shaped by the North Fork Sugar Creek and Crabapple Creek, while industrial activity is evident in the several Strip Mine operations scattered throughout Paint and Sugar Creek townships. The map also records early residential developments like Wynncrest Street and the recreational waters of Beach City Lake.
