1960 Map of Atwater

About this map

Penn Central rail lines and early interstate developments like Interchange 32 define the mid-century landscape of these townships in the Connecticut Western Reserve. The survey area covers a transition from the agricultural roots of Rootstown and Edinburg to the burgeoning infrastructure of the 1960s. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds including Homeland Cem and Edinburg Cem, while the industrial history of the region is marked by an Oil Well and the Old (Coal) Grade near Schultz Lake. The map details small settlements like New Milford (Rootstown Sta) and Atwater Center, illustrating the local dependence on both the rail corridor and the developing highway network. Water features such as Deer Creek and Muzzy Lake provide geographic context to the surrounding farm tracts and family-named roads like Campbellsport Road.
