About this map

The Grand River and its numerous tributaries, including Mill Creek and Three Brothers Creek, define the rural landscape of central Ashtabula County. This 1960s survey, updated with 1970 photogrammetric data, shows the expansion of Roaming Rock Lake in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The township of Jefferson serves as the primary hub, anchored by the local Fairground and Oakdale Cem.

Tracing the path of the Penn Central railroad reveals the historical industrial and transport corridor connecting small settlements like Eagleville and Rock Creek. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of the Sacred Heart Ch and several rural burying grounds such as West Lenox Cem and Northeast Rome Cem. Land divisions and farm properties are marked by a dense network of country roads including Footville Richmond Road and Knowlton Road, illustrating the region's agricultural character.
