About this map

Kinsman sits as the central hub of this eastern Ohio landscape, where the waters of Stratton Creek meet Pymatuning Creek before flowing south into the expansive Pymatuning State Wildlife Area. This 1990s update, based on 1960s topography, reveals a rural network defined by family-named crossroads and small-scale agriculture. The settlement pattern is anchored by locations like Farmdale (Kinsman Sta), reflecting the earlier rail influence, and educational centers like Badger High Sch.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, including Township Cem, West View Cem, and Gibson Cem. The transition from Ohio's Trumbull Co into Pennsylvania's Mercer Co and Crawford Co is clearly marked, following the path of State Line Road. Prominent terrain features like Webber Ridge and the winding Shenango River in the northwest corner illustrate the varied drainage patterns that shaped the early development of Williamsfield, Vernon, and West Salem.
