About this map

New London serves as a significant rail junction in North Central Ohio, where the Baltimore and Ohio and the Akron Canton and Youngstown lines converge with the NYC tracks. This 1960 era survey highlights a landscape defined by traditional agrarian divisions, with clear townships such as Fitchville and Greenwich and numerous small family or township burial grounds including Kniffin Cem and Ninevah Road Cem.

Tracing the path of the Vermilion River and Buck Creek, the map illustrates a rural economy balanced between farming and infrastructure, featuring a Landing Field north of the main village and a Gravel Pit near Hereford. The inclusion of local landmarks like the Township Sch and the municipal Sewage Disposal facility provides a detailed view of the community's mid-century development. Strategic roadways like Town Line Road and Section Line Road mark the orderly grid of the Connecticut Western Reserve.
