1960 Map of Orwell

About this map

Penn Central tracks bisect this portion of Ashtabula County, anchoring a corridor of rail-dependent settlements like Rome Station and New Lyme Station. This landscape in the early 1960s reflects a deeply established agricultural and residential pattern, where crossroads communities such as Rome Center and South New Lyme serve as local hubs. The map reveals the civic infrastructure of the era, including the Deeming Sch and several family-named burial grounds like Crosby Cem and the North Colebrook Cem.
