1994 Map of Gageville

About this map

The Ashtabula River carves a deep valley across the northern reaches of this map, its winding course crossed by several Covered Bridges that reflect the preservation of historic infrastructure within the townships of Plymouth and Sheffield. Settlement patterns here follow a grid of family-named roads like Hadlock Road and Stevenson Road, connecting small clusters such as Gageville and Sheffield Center. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and wooded drainage basins, centered around the Ashtabula County Airport and localized industry represented by numerous Gas Wells and Gravel Pits. Southward, the terrain levels out into Denmark township, where the small community of Denmark Center sits at a crossroads near Mill Creek. This 1994 photoinspection captures the area just before the turn of the century, showing a stable rural landscape where the quiet hamlet of Bulah and landmarks like St Andrews Ch remain as local anchors.
