About this map

The village of Ellsworth and its neighboring community East Ellsworth serve as the hub of this mid-1970s landscape, characterized by the winding path of Isabelle Creek and the surrounding townships of Trimbelle, Ellsworth, and Hartland. The region shows a dense network of local institutions, with several country churches like St Pauls Ch and Zion Covenant Ch serving the dispersed farming community. An interesting industrial footprint is visible through numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry scattered across the township, reflecting the local geology and road-building needs of the era.

Transportation history is represented by the Old Grade north of the main settlement, likely tracing a former rail line that once connected these rural outposts. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Maple Grove Cemetery, St Pauls Cem, and the remote Esdaile Cem. From the small cluster at Snows Corner to the recreational Wayside Park, the map preserves the quiet, agricultural character of Pierce County before modern development.
