2013 Map of Orrville

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Wayne County is defined by a dense network of family farms and historical burial grounds. Orrville and Smithville anchor the region, which remains deeply connected to its heritage through sites like the Oak Grove Mennonite Cem and Old Presbyterian Cem. The geography is carved by several watercourses including Sugar Cr and Little Apple Cr, which flow past longstanding agricultural holdings like Besancon Farm and Leopold Farms. Educational and civic life is centered at the Univ of Akron Wayne Coll, while smaller clusters like Weilersville and Riceland represent the enduring rural character of the area. This 2013 survey illustrates the continued importance of the land, showing a community where modern residential developments like Little Chippewa Estates sit alongside family-named landmarks and old country crossroads.
