2002 Map of Pedro

About this map

The hills of Wayne National Forest dominate this landscape, where the confluence of numerous hollows and ridges dictates the placement of Lawrence County’s early settlements and industries. In the valley of Pine Creek, the community of Superior sits alongside extensive clay pits, highlighting the importance of refractory manufacturing and mineral extraction in the region's economy. Further south, the map reveals the town of Pedro and the Lawco Lake reservoir, while smaller hamlets like Bondclay and Center Station remain connected by winding routes like Furnace Road. Local education and faith are represented by landmarks such as the Township Sch, Rock Hill School, and Mt Hope Ch, which served the families living along Howard Ridge and Wolcott Ridge in the early 2000s.
