2019 Map of Orwell

About this map

Orwell and its neighboring agricultural communities in Ashtabula County anchor this landscape, where small crossroads settlements define the rural character. The map illustrates a network of local transport and water management, notably the winding courses of Rock Creek and Lebanon Creek, alongside man-made alterations like Snyder Ditch. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the high density of burial grounds scattered across the townships, ranging from the central North Orwell Cemetery and South Orwell Cemetery to more remote locations such as Hyde Cemetery near Dodgeville. The northern portion of the map highlights the residential developments surrounding Lake Roaming Rock and the village of Roaming Shores, contrasting with the more dispersed hamlets of Rome, New Lyme, and Colebrook. These details provide a clear view of the persistent rural layout and historical land divisions of Northeast Ohio.
