About this map

Creston and its surrounding rural townships sit at the border of Medina and Wayne counties, a landscape defined by traditional agricultural patterns and a dense network of country roads. The village of Creston serves as a primary hub, while smaller named crossroads like Canaan, Jackson, and Hermanville suggest the historical settlement density of this region. The terrain is marked by the meandering paths of Killbuck Creek and its tributary, Killbuck Ditch, which drain the low-lying fields.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Maple Mound Cem, Canaan Center Cem, and the Jackson Cem. In the south, the presence of the Wayne County Airport and the Chippewa Watershed Conservation District Structure Reservoir indicates modern land use shifts alongside established landmarks like Golden Corners. The grid-like precision of the local roads, from Wooster Pike to Cleveland Rd, frames a landscape that remains deeply connected to its nineteenth-century surveying roots.
