1959 Map of Linesville

About this map

Linesville serves as the focal point of this western Crawford County survey, situated at the edge of the expansive Shenango River Pymatuning Reservoir. The landscape is defined by the intersection of water and infrastructure, with the Penn Central railroad and a significant Pipeline cutting through the rural townships. Local life is documented through numerous small cemeteries such as Baldwin Cem, Shaw Cem, and Frey Cem, alongside institutional landmarks like the Township Sch and Calvary Ch. The map highlights the area's transition into a recreational and conservation hub, noting Pymatuning State Park and the State Fish Hatchery, while Merrys Pymatuning Airport suggests the mid-century development of local aviation. The shoreline is intricately detailed, showing islands like Harris Island and Ford Island within the reservoir's reach.
