About this map

The town of Seville and its surrounding townships in Medina County reveal a landscape transitioning between rural agriculture and mid-century development. While larger centers like Medina City expand to the north, smaller rural hamlets such as Poe, Blake, and Acme maintain their identity through local landmarks like Bethany Ch and Jerusalem Ch. The geography is defined by the winding course of the River Styx and Chippewa Creek, which intersect with the industrial footprints of the Baltimore and Ohio and Erie Railroad.

A notable archaeological feature, the Indian Mound south of the Guilford Cem, points to the ancient history of the region. Meanwhile, the mid-twentieth-century economy is represented by several Gas Wells, a Fish Hatchery near Eds Lake, and the Wadsworth Municipal Airport. This record of the early 1960s captures the intricate network of family cemeteries, including Mound Hill Cem and Crowfoot Cem, that anchor the local genealogy of Sharon and Guilford townships.
