About this map

The expansive Pymatuning Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this Ashtabula County survey, straddling the state line where the North Shenango River and South Shenango River meet. A prominent Causeway connects the Ohio shore to Espyville in Pennsylvania, bisecting the waters near Stocker Island. The village of Andover serves as a central hub, where the Penn Central tracks cross through a grid of residential streets and local landmarks like the Pilgrim Ch and Maple Grove Cem.

Further south, the landscape transitions into the agricultural reaches of Williamsfield, marked by a scattered network of rural family roads such as Tidd Road and California Road. The map documents a mid-century period of local recreation and transit, featuring the Drive-in Theater along Black Creek and the development of Pymatuning State Park. For genealogists, the sheet preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Williamsfield Cem and the small Simons Cem near the reservoir's edge.
