About this map

Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, such as Turkeyfoot Run and Elk Run, carve through the rolling landscape of eastern Ohio. This survey reveals a dense concentration of early burying grounds, including Church Hill Cem, Kembles Cem, and Cool Springs Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Fairfield Township. Small communities like Elkton, Signal, and Middleton are connected by a network of rural routes such as Fairfield School Rd and Columbiana Lisbon Rd.

The landscape is further defined by its water features and specialized sites, from Shiveleys Lake and Peterson Pond to the York Aerodrome. Near the western edge, the outskirts of Lisbon and Leetonia appear, while the Pine Hollow area suggests the distinct terrain found along the valley floors. For the local historian, the map meticulously records the township and range boundaries, such as t11n r2w and t12n r2w, that have organized these lands for generations.
