About this map

Jeromesville and the surrounding Ashland County countryside are defined by a network of small runs and forks, including the prominent Jerome Fork and Muddy Fork. The landscape reflects a mid-century rural economy where traditional agriculture exists alongside an active energy sector, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered across the townships of Montgomery, Perry, and Mohican.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local landmarks, such as the Old Rowsburg Cem near Rowsburg and the rural Trinity Ch. The map records a changing transportation infrastructure, specifically noting an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to former rail connections. Distinctive local pockets like England and the settlement at Lake Fork provide a granular view of the county's social geography during this era of post-war development.
