1961 Map of Seville

About this map

Seville and the surrounding townships of Guilford, Montville, Sharon, and Wadsworth reveal a landscape defined by glacial hydrology and early settlement patterns. Significant historical depth is evident in landmarks like the Indian Mound and the concentrations of small burial grounds such as Mound Hill Cem and Blake Cem. The drainage of the River Styx and Chippewa creek systems once dictated the placement of early centers like Poe and Acme, while the mid-century infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads provided the industrial backbone for the region.
