Tuscarawas River. I bumped into the Tuscarawas River in an unexpected place -- Springfield, just north of us. I thought it ran down west of Akron to Zoar and points south, but here it was bubbling away east of Akron. Here you see a dam, which forms Tritts Mill Pond. Higy Cider Mill (formerly Tritts Flour Mill and powered by water) sits off to the right.
