About this map

Seville and the surrounding townships of Montville, Sharon, Guilford, and Wadsworth appear in this detailed survey, which captures the region just as Interstate 71 was beginning to reshape the rural landscape of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the Baltimore and Ohio RR alongside newer developments like the Wadsworth Municipal Airport and Weltzien Skypark.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous rural burial grounds and places of worship, such as the Old Mennonite Cem, Mound Hill Cem, and Jerusalem Ch. The geography is defined by the winding course of the River Styx and Chippewa Creek, while landmarks like the Indian Mound near Hubbard Creek point to much earlier layers of human history on the land. Small communities such as Boneta, Blake, and Acme are documented here before further suburbanization.
