1959 Map of East Trumbull

About this map

The Grand River and its winding tributaries, including Trumbull Creek and Crooked Creek, carve through this rural landscape within the Connecticut Western Reserve. In the late 1950s, this area of Ashtabula County remained heavily agrarian, defined by small settlements such as Cork and Trumbull and a dense network of family-named roads like Fobes Road and Dawsey Road. The map reveals a community centered on local institutions, with numerous country churches like South Harpersfield Ch and Community Ch appearing alongside several small burial grounds including Footville Cem and East Trumbull Cem. The presence of Lake Chawaukee and the Circle Resort suggests a developing recreational character amidst the timbered tracts and fields of Hartsgrove and Harpersfield townships. An Airstrip near the western edge and scattered gravel pits highlight the light industry and modern transportation infrastructure supporting these rural townships.
