1960 Map of Geneva

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this Lake County landscape, where the resort community of Geneva-on-the-Lake sits alongside Geneva-on-the-Lake State Park. To the south, the city of Geneva serves as a major hub for the Norfolk and Western Railway and Conrail lines, which cut through the center of the sheet near Assumption Ch and Evergreen Cem. The map reveals a transition from the lakeside tourism of Driftwood to the agricultural and riparian corridor of the Grand River. Near the southern boundary, the river winds past Mechanicsville and a historic Covered Bridge, while the Geneva Reservoir and various family-named burial sites like Hutchins Cem and Sexton Cent provide important touchpoints for local genealogists and researchers tracking the development of Harpersfield and Austinburg townships.
