2013 Map of Kensington

About this map

Kensington and Hanoverton anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, where the boundary between Columbiana and Carroll counties cuts across a terrain defined by the drainage of Sandy Cr and Muddy Fork. The map documents a rural transition where traditional agriculture meets local industry, most notably at the Summitville Clay Products Lake and the Summitville Clay Works Pond Dam near the village of Summitville. Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds, including Sandy Springs Cem near the northern border and Bethesda Cem to the east. Small settlements like Five Forks, Millport, and Norristown are linked by a network of local roads such as Laughlin Mill Rd and Gavers Rd, while the presence of the Buckeye Tree Farm and lakes like Manfull Lake and France Lake further characterize the region's land use.
