2016 Map of Orrville

About this map

Orrville and its surrounding Wayne County agricultural landscape are defined by a dense network of early settlements and family-linked landmarks. This survey illustrates the proximity of historical centers like Smithville, Apple Creek, and Kidron, linked by established routes such as Us Rte 30 and E Lincoln Way. The area is particularly notable for its high concentration of burial grounds, including the Old Presbyterian Cem, Oak Grove Mennonite Cem, and Orrs Community Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The landscape is drained by winding waterways like Sugar Cr and Little Sugar Cr, with the Univ of Akron Wayne Coll and Stoltzfus Airfield marking the transition toward more modern institutional and recreational development. These layers of land use reflect a transition from 19th-century church-and-cemetery foundations to 21st-century educational and light aviation hubs.
