1959 Map of Dorset

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Dorset serves as the central hub of this Ashtabula County landscape, situated at the junction of the New York Central Railroad and several prominent local thoroughfares. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of Jefferson in the northwest to the agricultural expanse of Denmark and Lenox townships. The drainage patterns of Mill Creek and Pymatuning Creek define the low-lying terrain, while the presence of a Gas Well and family-named roads like Traxler Road and Gardner Road suggest the rural industrial and domestic character of the area in the late 1950s. Genealogists will find particular value in the survey's inclusion of small burial grounds, such as South Denmark Cem and Williams Cem, which anchor the history of early families within the Connecticut Western Reserve.
