1960 Map of Hartville

About this map

Hartville sits at the intersection of early Ohio transportation and agriculture, characterized by a dense network of local roads such as Pontius Street and State Street. This 1960 field-checked survey reveals a landscape where rural community life centered on numerous houses of worship and cemeteries, including the St Jacobs Ch and Maple Grove Ch Cem. The presence of the New York Central and Wheeling and Lake Erie railroads underscores the importance of rail transit for local industry, while the Millburn Landing Strip suggests the evolution of regional travel. To the north, Congress Lake serves as a prominent geographic anchor near the Portage and Stark County boundary. The map captures the area before significant suburban expansion, preserving the locations of rural schoolhouses like Walnut Grove Sch and local landmarks like Hoover Park.
