1960 Map of Pierpont

About this map

Ashtabula River and its multiple branches carve through this portion of the Connecticut Western Reserve during the early 1960s. The landscape reflects a rural economy deeply integrated with natural resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered across the townships of Monroe and Pierpont. Small crossroads settlements like Monroe Center and Bushnell serve as local anchors, while the larger village of Pierpont sits near the southern boundary. To the east, the state line between Ohio and Pennsylvania is marked by the sprawling State Game Lands No 101, which straddles the border near Wing. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of family-centric landmarks such as Monroe Cem, Reeds Corners Cem, and the Monroe Sch, providing a clear view of the community structure before modern consolidation changed these township landscapes.
