About this map

Conneaut serves as the focal point of this Ohio-Pennsylvania borderland, where the industrial infrastructure of the Bessemer and Lake Erie and Penn Central railroads meets the active waters of Conneaut Harbor. The map reveals a landscape defined by the winding course of Conneaut Creek, which is spanned by a Covered Bridge and flanked by local landmarks such as Camp Peet and Municipal Stadium.

Beyond the urban center, the map documents several smaller outlying communities including Amboy, Farnham, and Hatch Corners. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the township, including St Josephs Cem, West Lakeville Cem, and East Lakeville Cem. The presence of massive Ore Storage Areas near the lakefront highlights the area's significance as a mid-century transshipment point for raw materials arriving by ship on Lake Erie.
