1959 Map of Andover

About this map

Pymatuning Reservoir dominates the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, defining the border between Ohio and Pennsylvania. The New York Central railroad corridor bisects the landscape, connecting the village of Andover with southern settlements like Williamsfield and Simons. This region, situated within the Connecticut Western Reserve, shows a rectilinear grid of local roads such as Gibbs Road and California Road that serve a primarily agricultural and recreational landscape. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped in detail, including Maple Grove Cem and West Lawn Cem. Cultural landmarks of the era are evident, from the Pilgrim Ch to a Drive-in Theater located along the highway, while the ancient Owens Mound stands as a rare archaeological feature near the northern boundary. The rise of leisure and conservation is clear in the establishment of Pymatuning State Park along the reservoir's shoreline.
