1994 Map of Gustavus

About this map

The Connecticut Western Reserve legacy is evident across this Trumbull County landscape, characterized by the grid-like township boundaries of Greene, Gustavus, Johnston, and Mecca. The western edge is defined by the expanse of Mosquito Lake and the Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area, a significant conservation corridor. Settlement patterns here follow a distinct crossroads logic, with small hamlets like Kenilworth, Barclay, and Johnston serving as local anchors. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating numerous burial grounds such as the Old Gustavus Cem, Southside Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The terrain is drained by several small watercourses, including Clear Creek and Berry Creek, while the rural road network, featuring routes like Higgins Dorset Rd and Mahan Denman Road, connects the scattered farms and former milling sites like Rices Mills.
