2019 Map of Pierpont

About this map

Pierpont and Kelloggsville anchor this rural landscape along the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, where the headwaters of the Ashtabula River and Br Conneaut Cr carve through the agricultural fields of Ashtabula County. The map documents a traditional crossroads economy, centered on small hamlets like Monroe Center, Bushnell, and Shipp. These settlements are linked by a network of township and county roads that follow the drainage patterns of the East Branch Ashtabula River and W Br Ashtabula River. Significant landmarks for local history include several river crossings, such as the Root Road Bridge, Graham Road Bridge, and Caine Road Bridge. Genealogical researchers will find value in the placement of Monroe Cem, Reeds Corners Cem, and Evergreen Cem, which serve the surrounding rural community. The landscape is defined by its transition from the wetland-rich basins of the west to the higher elevations leading into Pennsylvania via State Line Rd.
