About this map

Ansonia serves as a central hub of activity in this 1961 survey, where the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads intersect. This transit-oriented layout is reflected throughout the county, with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cutting across the southern reaches near Coletown. The landscape is a network of small agricultural settlements and corner crossings, including Zumbrum Corners and Hunchberger Corners, alongside community anchors like the Woodland Heights Sch and the Childrens Home.

Waterways like the Stillwater River and Greenville Creek snake through the townships, while a Flowing Well south of the river suggests the importance of natural springs to the local economy. For those researching local families, the map identifies numerous rural burial grounds such as Earhart Cem, Bethel Cem, and the Old Teegarden Cem, which sit near country congregations like Shady Grove Ch. Leis Airport stands as a notable modern landmark amidst the traditional farmsteads and schools.
