About this map

Rootstown and the surrounding townships in Portage County are defined by a grid of rural roads and scattered small aviation facilities during the early 21st century. The landscape is dotted with localized hubs such as Atwater Center, Randolph, and Edinburg, while the Northeastern Ohio University College of Medicine serves as a significant institutional landmark near the western edge. This period shows a community structured around small airstrips like Gay Airport and the L and M Mold Corporation Airport, reflecting a local history of private aviation.

Water management is evident through numerous ditches and small drainage basins, including the Randolph Ditch and Atwater Ditch, which support the agricultural character of the region. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as the Old Cemetery near Rootstown and the Disciple Cemetery near Randolph. The presence of distinct settlements like Five Corners and Industry provides a clear view of the area's established residential pattern.
