Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 360 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 16 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

Businesses named in the atlases

40 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. 5 of these 40 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.

May 2024Tornado (EF1)Wakatomika$100,000The same severe thunderstorm that produced an earlier tornado in Muskingum County then produced another brief EF1 tornado as it moved east-northeast into southern Coshocton County. Damage was noted to a home, outbuilding, and trees just off of County Road 439. It's believed that the tornado touched down very close to the house itself with the bulk of the damage occurring on the northeast side of the house, opposite of the parent thunderstorm's southwest to northeast motion. The outbuilding had its roof removed and most of its walls completely collapsed save for part of one side that remained standing. The tornado removed the entire metal roof throwing it in pieces several hundred yards downstream into a field as well as upstream where two pieces were wrapped around the top of a tree. While most walls remained standing, the back side of the home was torn off and laid on the ground. It was this damage that the highest EF1 wind speed of 105 |mph was observed. Insulation from this part of the home was thrown all over the property and plastered on all sides of the home. Several healthy softwood trees were uprooted in the backyard.

Collected here, 1846 to 1974

8 of 1,860 shown

Museum specimens collected in and around this county - inside the rectangle that bounds it - and catalogued with a date and a place: 1,860 of them, by kingdom 1,062 animalia, 660 plantae, 128 fungi, 4 protozoa, 4 bacteria. Each is a physical object in a named collection, not a sighting. Held by Ohio State University - Fish Division, Columbus, OH (OSUM), CM, INHS, UMMZ, FLAS, Ohio State University - Amphibian Division, Columbus, OH (OSUM) 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.
