About this map

Pierpont and the rural townships of Monroe and Beaver anchor this 1960 survey of the Ohio-Pennsylvania state line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Ashtabula River and its major tributaries, including the East Branch and West Branch. These waterways are crossed by several landmarks, notably a Covered Bridge on Kelloggsville Road and another near Graham Road. The survey reflects a quiet agricultural era within the Connecticut Western Reserve, where family-named roads like Brydle Road and Caine Road connect small settlements such as Kelloggsville and Bushnell.

Social centers are clustered at crossroads, evidenced by the Monroe School and Monroe Cemetery at Monroe Center. To the east, the state line is flanked by State Game Lands No 101 in Pennsylvania. This map is particularly useful for identifying established farmsteads and rural infrastructure, from the Substation near Evergreen Cemetery to the various hamlets like Shipp and Riggs that serviced the surrounding farming community.
