If a deed near Campbell mentions a township, or a tax bill names one, the Mahoning County township map is how you locate it on the ground. Below we sort out the kinds of townships in Mahoning County and where to see each one.
What a Mahoning County township map shows
Where civil townships exist in the county, they are named local units, and their duties near Alliance depend on Ohio law. Rural land in Mahoning County comes from the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Maple Ridge may span two.
The county map you'll pair it with
The county's own public map is the Mahoning County parcel viewer, and it opens without an account for parcels in Struthers and the rest of the county. Most people locate their Mahoning County tract fastest by searching an address in Canfield, then clicking the outline. For a backup route to the map covering Canfield, our Mahoning County directory entry keeps the link current.
Using the Mahoning County parcel viewer as a Mahoning County township map
Open the Mahoning County parcel viewer and look in the layer list for township or municipal boundaries; click a parcel near Alliance and the record commonly names the township. For the survey grid, look for section, township and range in the legal description on the Mahoning County record.
Reading sections near Struthers
For land around Canfield, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, with the count snaking back and forth to 36 in the southeast. Aliquot descriptions for land near Maple Ridge make sense in reverse: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Canfield may not be exactly 640 acres.
