About this map

The Connecticut Western Reserve's historical legacy is visible across this 1960 landscape, where the township boundaries of Monroe and Pierpont are defined by a grid of rural roads and scattered farmsteads. The settlement at Pierpont serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of the West Branch Ashtabula River. Further north, the village of Kelloggsville and the crossroads of Monroe Center anchor the community, supported by local institutions like Monroe Sch and several family-named burial grounds including Reeds Corners Cem and Evergreen Cem.

The terrain is deeply marked by the extractive industries of the mid-century, with numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered throughout the woodlots and fields. To the east, the state line between Ohio and Pennsylvania runs through the dense forest of State Game Lands No 101. Waterways like Ashtabula Creek and Conneaut Creek carve through the agricultural landscape, which remained largely rural as the post-war era progressed.
