About this map

The hills of southern Columbiana County are defined by the winding waters of West Fork Little Beaver Creek and the high point at Walnut Ridge. This landscape reveals a deep history of rural life, anchored by the village of Salineville and the smaller settlement of Gavers. The area's genealogical value is significant, with numerous family and community burial grounds including Saint Pauls Cem, Morgan Cem, and the Wayne Township Methodist Episcopal Cem marking the locations of early congregations.

Water and industry have long shaped the local economy, from the remnants of Dobson Mill on the creek to the modern footprint of Industrial Mining Lake. To the south, the Highlandtown Reservoir and the Highlandtown Wildlife Area Pond illustrate how the terrain has been managed for recreation and conservation, while the road network, including the Steubenville Pike, follows the older paths of the t13n r3w township boundaries.
