About this map

Cherry Valley serves as a central point in this 1990s landscape, reflecting the agricultural and rural character of southern Ashtabula County. The map details a quiet grid of township roads such as Sodom Road and Cream Ridge Road, names that hint at the local farming heritage and 19th-century settlement patterns. This area is defined by its waterways, including the winding paths of Mosquito Creek and Pymatuning Creek, which drain the low-lying terrain and dictate the placement of early homesteads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burying grounds, such as Cherry Valley Cem and Hayes Cem, alongside the small crossroads communities of Lebanon, Wayne, and Wick. To the west, the New Lyme State Wildlife Area occupies a large portion of the township, illustrating the balance between managed conservation and the active rural life found near Dodgeville Road and Windsor Road.
