This scenic 2,265-acre wildlife area lies 8 miles south of Lisbon and 3 miles northeast of Salineville in southern Columbiana County. It can be reached by State Route 164 from Lisbon and by State Route 39 from Salineville and Wellsville.
The terrain is steeply rolling, with some flat hilltops and valley floors. Elevations vary from 1,060 to 1,340 feet above sea level. Highlandtown Lake, 170 acres in size, is on the upper headwaters of Little Yellow Creek.
Second growth hardwoods and conifers which cover most of the area are interspersed with brushy coverts, former cropfields, and some meadow and grain crops.
