1959 Map of Dorset

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Dorset sits at the heart of this late-1950s survey of eastern Ashtabula County, part of the original Connecticut Western Reserve. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Mill Creek and Pymatuning Creek, which cut through a grid of townships including Jefferson, Denmark, Lenox, and Cherry Valley. This era shows a rural landscape where small settlements like Rowenton and Sentinel remain connected by an extensive network of local roads such as Footville Richmond Road and South Denmark Road. Family history is anchored in local burial grounds like Dorset Cem and Williams Cem, providing specific geographic markers for genealogists. The map preserves the 1950s alignment of the New York Central Road corridor, reflecting the transit patterns and agricultural divisions of the mid-century Midwest.
