About this map

The Ashtabula River and its multiple branches define the agricultural and wooded landscape of this borderland area during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Pierpont serves as a local hub near the southern edge, while the hamlets of Kelloggsville, Bushnell, and Monroe Center are connected by a network of rural routes like Kelloggsville Road and Gageville Monroe Road. The presence of numerous Gas Wells and several Oil Wells scattered across the township suggests an era of active local resource extraction alongside traditional farming.

Genealogists can find several key landmarks for tracing family roots, including the State Line Church perched on the very edge of the state boundary, and educational sites such as the Monroe School. Burial grounds including Evergreen Cemetery and Reeds Corners Cemetery are well-documented. To the east, the State Game Lands No 101 provides a large undeveloped expanse near Conneaut Creek as the terrain transitions into Pennsylvania.
