2011 Map of Ashland

About this map

Cromers Mill Covered Bridge spans the southern reaches of this landscape near the small community of Cromers. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Hudson River and Middle Fork Broad River, which are fed by numerous tributaries such as Nails Creek, Carlan Creek, and Indian Creek. These waterways dictate the local road network, which connects rural settlements like Ashland, Erastus, and Plainview. For genealogists, the map identifies family-related sites and burial grounds, including Ebenezer Cemetery and Hebron Cemetery. The presence of Alston Lake and its associated Alston Dam highlights the intersection of natural drainage and modern water management. This area maintains its agricultural and rural character, with many roads named for early resident families such as Shepard Rd, Gulpepper Rd, and McKie Rd.
