About this map

The agricultural landscape of north-central Ohio is meticulously recorded here, where the townships of Clear Creek, Orange, and Montgomery converge. The village of Savannah serves as a northern anchor, characterized by the Savannah-Clear Creek Sch and its proximity to the Vermilion River. Moving south, the terrain is defined by a series of glacial water bodies including Mud Lake and Spring Lake, collectively known as the Savannah Lakes.

Industrial and infrastructure development of the early 1960s and 1970s is evident in the presence of the Erie-Lackawanna railroad line and numerous Sand and Gravel Pits dotting the countryside. Local history is preserved through scattered rural landmarks like the Maple Grove Ch and ancestral burial grounds such as Rickert Cem and Fast Cem. The southern edge reveals the expansion of Ashland, showing the Ashland Reservoir and municipal facilities that supported the growing regional center.
