About this map

The eastern edges of Portage and Mahoning counties meet in a landscape defined by significant water management and rural crossroads. Berlin Lake dominates the southeast corner, its winding shoreline and wetlands creating a complex boundary near the settlement of Deerfield. To the northwest, the edge of the Michael J Kirwan Reservoir touches the quadrangle near the intersection of Calvin Rd and Alliance Rd. This 2016 survey documents a network of small, established communities connected by a grid of county roads and the diagnostic path of Cleve E Liverpool Rd.

Genealogical interest is particularly high given the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Palmyra Cem, North Cem, and the more secluded Robinson Cem near the center of the map. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Yale, Diamond, and Flicks Corners, provide a clear picture of the residential pattern in this part of Ohio, where agricultural land and large-scale water reservoirs coexist.
