1959 Map of East Springfield

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The northern coastline of Lake Erie meets a landscape defined by deep creek ravines and a dense transportation corridor in this late 1950s survey. Settlements like West Springfield and East Springfield are positioned along the historic east-west transit lines, including Yellowstone Road and the Penn Central tracks. The terrain is deeply incised by the winding course of Conneaut Creek, where a Covered Bridge still stands near Kidders Corner. This area reflects a mid-century rural economy shifting between lakeside recreation at Camp Lambec and the heavy infrastructure of the Bessemer and Lake Erie railroad. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped with precision, from the Cottage Church Cem in the west to the Valley Cem near the East Branch of the creek. The presence of the Airway Beacon and a Landing Strip near North Springfield underscores the era's developing regional aviation network.
