About this map

Minerva serves as the primary hub at the intersection of Stark, Carroll, and Columbiana counties, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Sandy Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, anchored by small settlements like Augusta, East Rochester, and Pattersonville. The area's deep-rooted community history is evidenced by an exceptionally high density of rural cemeteries and places of worship, including the Still Fork Church Cem and Quaker Church.

Topographically, the map reveals a network of narrow valleys such as Shenandoah Valley and Stony Hollow, which channel various tributaries like Whalebark Run and Still Fork toward the larger creek systems. Two local landing strips, Parsons Airport and Hibbetts Airport, provide a modern connection to the more remote corners of the quadrangle. The township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System remain clearly visible, marking the enduring cadastral framework of this part of eastern Ohio.
