1959 Map of Leon

About this map

Ashtabula and Crawford counties meet along the state line in this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and the spreading waters of the Pymatuning Reservoir. The agricultural character of Richmond and Pierpont townships is evident in the network of rural roads like Schrambling Road and Tower Road, connecting clusters of homes and civic life at Richmond Center and North Richmond. Local history is anchored at the Richmond Sch and the Padanaram Cem, while the Penn Central tracks and various Gravel Pits suggest the area's transport and industrial activities. To the east, the map details the inundation of the Shenango River valley within Pymatuning State Park, showing how the reservoir reshaped the borderlands near Padan and Espy.
