1959 Map of Conneautville

About this map

Conneautville serves as a primary hub in this late 1950s study of western Crawford County, situated where the Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad cuts through the borough. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Temple Creek and the West Branch Cussewago Creek, with rural life organized around a network of family-named settlements and cemeteries. Numerous Gas Wells are scattered throughout the Spring and Summerhill townships, signaling the industrial activity of the era alongside traditional agriculture. Educational and religious life is anchored by landmarks like Conneaut Valley High Sch and St Nicholas Ch in Pageville. The map also captures smaller crossroads and farming communities like Hickernell and Rundell, connected by winding routes such as Rundelltown Rd.
