About this map

Hanoverton sits at the southern edge of this Columbiana County landscape, where the agricultural plateaus of Hanover and West townships meet the waters of Sandy Creek. In the late 1950s, the region maintained a dense network of small crossroads communities including New Garden, North Georgetown, and Winona. The presence of United Schools and various family-named burial grounds like King Cem and Dutton Cem speaks to a well-established rural social fabric.

Conservation and extraction appear side-by-side as Guilford Lake State Reserve and the Zeppernick Lake Wildlife Area provide public recreation space, while a scattering of Strip Mines, Gravel Pits, and numerous Gas Wells indicate the active mineral economy of the era. The terrain is defined by low ridges and marshy pockets like Huckleberry Swamp, with several named waterways including the Mahoning River and Marsh Run carving through the township lines.
