About this map

North Georgetown and the southern reach of the Mahoning River anchor this topographic survey of central Columbiana County. The landscape is a patchwork of rural agriculture and specialized land use, characterized by numerous small water bodies such as Conser Run Lake and the Lake Placentia resort area. To the east, the Guilford Lake State Reserve and Guilford Lake provide a significant recreational anchor, while the Zepernick Lake Wildlife Area preserves the wetland character of the western terrain.

Evidence of the local family-based settlement patterns is clear through numerous family burial grounds, including Dutton Cem, Figley Cem, and King Cem. Industrial activity is noted in the northern sections, where several Gas Wells and a Strip Mine are mapped. Educational and civic infrastructure is represented by the centralized United Schools near the village of New Garden, while the historic community of Hanoverton sits along Sandy Creek at the southern map edge.
