About this map

Attica Junction serves as a critical rail intersection where the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads cross, anchoring the rural economy of Seneca and Huron Counties. This early 20th-century landscape is defined by a dense grid of district schools, including uniquely named sites like Podunk School and English School, alongside small agrarian settlements such as Fireside, Flat Rock, and West Lodi. The surveying also marks the West Boundary Connecticut Reserve, a significant historical survey line that influenced land division in the region. Numerous family-named drainage ditches, such as Royer Ditch and Eicholtz Ditch, reflect the intensive efforts to manage the water table for agriculture. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous rural schoolhouses and small sidings like Scipio Siding that once connected isolated farmsteads to wider markets.
