2023 Map of Atwater

About this map

Atwater and the surrounding townships of Rootstown, Edinburg, and Randolph anchor this Portage County landscape, defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage and small glacial lakes. The terrain is notably managed by a series of engineered watercourses, including Reed Ditch, Hudson Ditch, and Atwater Ditch, which work alongside natural flows like Deer Creek and Barrel Run to support the local farmland. Genealogical researchers will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented here, ranging from the central Atwater Cem and Edinburg Cem to smaller locations like Homeland Cem, Disciple Cem, and the simply marked Old Cemetery. The presence of the Northeastern Ohio Medical University in the northwest corner highlights the area's modern institutional growth, while landmarks like Grace Hill and Schultz Lake provide enduring natural points of reference for those tracing family property and local history.
