About this map

The state boundary between Ohio and Pennsylvania bisects the rural landscape of eastern Ashtabula County, where small agricultural hubs like Pierpont and Kelloggsville anchor the local road network. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several significant waterways, including the Ashtabula River and its East Branch, which carve through the till plains toward Lake Erie. This modern topographic study reveals a long-standing pattern of dispersed settlements and family-named landmarks like Monroe Center and Shipp.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-established burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem and Monroe Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's early settlement. The presence of the West Branch Conneaut Creek and the Middle Branch Conneaut Creek in the eastern portion of the map indicates the drainage divide that separates the local watersheds, while locations like Bushnell and Riggs remain central points in the township's layout.
