About this map

The village of Garrettsville serves as a focal point in this portion of Northeast Ohio, where the headwaters of the Mahoning River and Eagle Creek converge. The landscape is defined by its unique glacial geology, most notably the towering sandstone formations at Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park, including Nelson Ledge and Kennedy Ledge. These features provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding agricultural and residential layout of Hiram, Nelson, and Freedom townships.

Researchers will find a dense network of local history markers, from established burial grounds like Mumford Cem and Maple Grove Cem to rural worship centers such as Troy Ch and Pioneer Ch. The map captures the region's resource-based economy through several Sand & Rock Pits and a Quarry near Bancroft. The presence of the Eagle Creek State Nature Preserve and the Grand River in the north highlights a transition from the industrial activity of the pits to protected natural corridors.
