About this map

Andover and Williamsfield anchor this rural landscape along the state line where Ashtabula County meets Pennsylvania. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the expansive Pymatuning Reservoir, a massive water body that reshaped the local geography and created features like Stocker Island. Away from the water, the terrain is characterized by a series of north-south drainages including McMichael Cr, Stratton Cr, and Black Cr, which flow through a network of small agricultural settlements and crossroads.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the townships, including West Andover Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and West Lawn Cem. The presence of small aviation facilities like Riceland Aerodrome and Hal Joy Airfield indicates the modern utility of the flat glacial topography. From the prehistoric significance of Owens Mound to the recreational trails like Whispering Pines Trail and Beaver Dam Trail, the map documents a place where land use transitioned from early farming and burial grounds to large-scale water management and recreation.
