About this map

New London serves as a significant rail junction in North Central Ohio during this 1960 era, where the Penn Central and A C & Y lines intersect near a local Landing Field. The landscape reflects the rural character of the Connecticut Western Reserve, defined by a grid of family and township roads like Jennings Road and Ninevah Road.

Tracing the Vermilion River and its Southwest Branch reveals a pattern of early settlements such as Fitchville and Ruggles. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Kniffin Cem and the Ninevah Road Cem, which alongside the Township Sch, provide critical markers of the area's 19th-century community structure. Industrial activity is represented by the Gravel Pit near Hereford and the complex infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor.
