1960 Map of Gageville

About this map

The Ashtabula River carves a deep valley through this corner of Ashtabula County, where early 19th-century land patterns of the Connecticut Western Reserve remain visible in the road grid. Several small rural hubs serve the surrounding dairy and farmland, including Gageville, Sheffield Center, and Plymouth. Evidence of early transportation is preserved through multiple sites labeled Covered Bridge crossing the river, alongside the industrial presence of the Penn Central and N & W railroads. In the southern half of the quadrangle, Griggs Creek and Mill Creek drain toward the central valley, passing through hamlets like Bulah and Griggs Corners. The landscape is a mix of woodlots and open fields, with localized infrastructure like the Ashtabula Airport and the Radio Range Sta indicating the area's mid-century modernization.
