Businesses named in the atlases

10 businesses

Every Sanborn volume opens with a printed index naming the town's mills, tanneries, hotels and works by proprietor. Those indexes were read off the scanned sheets by machine and then matched to each other, so a business surveyed four times appears here once, with the years it survived. 0 of these 10 were named in more than one atlas. Each carries a crop of the line it was read from: the spelling is the recogniser's and the 1880s lithographer's, and the scan behind it is the proof.

July 2021Tornado (EF2)Watheys$500,000A ground and aerial drone survey confirmed two distinct and |adjacent tornadoes, which were spawned from a supercell |thunderstorm that tracked southeast across Washington and Lee |Townships in Carroll County, Ohio...and then into Springfield and |Ross Townships in Jefferson County, Ohio. These findings are |consistent with two hook echoes/rotational couplets on NWS Doppler|Radar in Pittsburgh.||This section outlines the first tornado track across Carroll |County. The tornado touched down at approximately 4:59pm along |Channel Rd NE and Cobbler Rd, where damage to a farm residence, |wood-framed metal roof shed, and crops were observed. Some damage |indicators included flattening of corn, blown-out windows, and a |wind-toppled chimney.||Several trees were blown down along Parma Rd, as the tornado |continued to the south-southeast.||The tornado then proceeded over rural, hilly woodland west of |Cinder Road (aka CR67). To further inspect glimpses of embedded |tree damage, a drone was launched from a gas well access road, and|discovered a long, continuous path of extensive tree damage. A |several hundred yard section along one of the hill peaks was |nearly completely deforested with hundreds of large trees |completely snapped and uprooted. An EF-2 rating was assigned to |this area, with a maximum estimated wind of 120 MPH.||The tornado continued downhill toward the gas well site, with the|last tree damage observed just prior to reaching Bay Rd. As this |tornado rapidly dissipated, a second tornado formed approximately |1 mile to the east-southeast.
July 1994Thunderstorm Windnot stated$500,000Trees were downed at a number of locations, some on power lines, vehicles, and buildings.
May 2024Tornado (EF0)New Hagerstown$250,000Video confirmed a brief tornado occurred beginning at the Leesville Lake South Fork Marina and continuing northeast across Leesville Lake. Rapid development was noted as a narrow, intense ground circulation appeared, tossing docks and pontoon boats. Based on the destruction of a tree in tandem with the destruction of non-DIs evident in the video and the visual of rotational speed of the ground circulation, the peak wind in this small tornado is estimated to be around 80 MPH.
April 2015Flash FloodPalermo$150,000Emergency management reported water flowing out of the spillway from Stoney Creek Dam and flooding McGuire Creek down to Leesville lake. SR 37 and East Side drive were washed out in spots. Sand and gravel were washed into basement of one home.

The worst of the damage |was an overturned single wide mobile home. There were shingles off |several other mobile homes within the mobile home park. A metal shed |was also destroyed. Intermittent touchdowns continued causing minor |damage and shingles off the roofs of a few homes along N Lisbon |Street.

8 of 455 shown

Museum specimens collected inside this county and catalogued with a date and a place: 455 of them, by kingdom 344 animalia, 106 plantae, 5 fungi. Each is a physical object in a named collection, not a sighting. Held by Ohio State University - Fish Division, Columbus, OH (OSUM), CM, UMMZ, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, OH (CLEV), Ohio State University - Amphibian Division, Columbus, OH (OSUM), CUMV among others, and each settlement page carries the specimens collected near it.

The oldest of them. A specimen proves something was collected on that day; its absence proves nothing.

The townships, in 1866

576,239 words

Ohio Carroll County Early Marriages Volume 2 devotes a chapter to each township: its boundaries and streams, who settled it and when, the mills, the schools and the churches. All 2 are reproduced here in full. Each row shows the township's own shape and where it lies in the county, drawn from the Census Bureau's boundary. Which settlements belong to which township is computed from that same boundary, not taken from the book.

The people it describes

5 named

Everyone Ohio Carroll County Early Marriages Volume 2 stops to write about, with the section that describes them. Among them are the men who founded the place and governed the Territory. Each name opens the passage itself, in the words of 1866.

Every populated place in the county

79

Named settlements recorded in the Geographic Names Information System, each with the topographic sheets covering it. Villages, hamlets and abandoned places alike. Each is shown with the watercourse or landform it stands on and the survey quadrangle it falls on. The 3 places that were also surveyed for fire insurance come first, with the number of atlases and photographs held for them.
