1959 Map of East Springfield

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern reaches of this Erie County landscape, where the shoreline meets a complex network of mid-century transport and drainage. The rugged incision of Conneaut Creek meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, characterized by its deep valley and a notable Covered Bridge. The settlement pattern reflects a rail-dependent history, with Thornton Junction and West Springfield serving as primary hubs for the Penn Central, Norfolk and Western, and Bessemer and Lake Erie railroads. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named burial grounds, including Griffey Cem and Salisbury Cem, which are scattered among the agricultural fields and woodlots of the Springfield township. To the south, the protected terrain of State Game Lands No 101 marks a shift toward conserved natural space near the Ohio state line.
