About this map

Agricultural patterns and family-named roads define this portion of Ashtabula County, surveyed in the late 1950s. The landscape is organized by a grid of rural thoroughfares, including Sodom Road, Cream Ridge Road, and Dodgeville Road, connecting small clusters of settlement such as Cherry Valley and Wick. The Conrail line cuts through the eastern portion of the territory, following the drainage of Pymatuning Creek.

Genealogists will find significant local value in the clearly marked burial grounds, including the Cherry Valley Cem and Hayes Cem in the east, and the Center Cem located near the intersection at Wayne. The topography is primarily influenced by the headwaters of several drainages, with Mosquito Creek and Troutman Creek winding through the townships of Colebrook and New Lyme, reflecting a rural Ohio landscape before significant modern expansion altered its traditional character.
