About this map

The shoreline of Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this Lake County landscape, where the resort atmosphere of Madison-on-the-Lake contrasts with the established inland settlements. The area is structured by historic transit corridors, including the parallel routes of North Ridge and South Ridge, which follow the ancient beach ridges of the Great Lakes. These ridges historically served as the primary east-west conduits for early settlers, leading to the development of nodes like Genung Corners and the community of Unionville at the Ashtabula County line.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, from the Old Unionville Cem to the centrally located Fairview Cem and Madison Memorial Cem. The drainage of Arcola Cr meanders through the township, passing near Woodworth Airport, while smaller residential clusters like Redbird and North Madison fill the space between the lakefront and the primary village of Madison.
