About this map

The Shenango River and the massive expanse of the Pymatuning Reservoir dominate this 1959 survey of Crawford County, documenting a landscape reshaped by water management and recreation. The borough of Linesville serves as the primary hub, where the State Fish Hatchery and several local cemeteries, including Boro Cem and Frey Cem, mark the intersection of civic life and the rising shoreline. This edition includes purple revision overlays from 1987, showing the expansion of Pymatuning State Park and updated road alignments near Merrys Pymatuning Airport.

Smaller rural clusters like Steamburg and Conneaut Center reflect the area’s agricultural roots, supported by early educational sites like Township Sch. To the south, an Old Railroad Grade and the sprawling State Game Lands No 214 highlight the transition from industrial transport to conservation. The map also identifies numerous family-named burial grounds like Manning Cem and Baldwin Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research in Conneaut and Sadsbury townships.
