1960 Map of Gageville

About this map

The Ashtabula River winds through the heart of this landscape, its steep banks and the valley known simply as the Gulf defining the local geography as it was recorded in 1960. Rural settlements like Gageville and Sheffield Center serve as anchors for a network of country roads named for early families, such as Benetka Road and Lillie Road. The map captures a transitional infrastructure, featuring several instances of a Covered Bridge still in use over the river's bends, alongside modern additions like the Ashtabula County Airport and a Microwave Tower. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked Gageville Cem and local landmarks like St Andrews Ch. The presence of both the Conrail and N & W rail lines illustrates the enduring importance of transportation corridors through Plymouth and Denmark Center during the mid-twentieth century.
