About this map

The Connecticut Reserve land patterns are still clearly visible in this early 1950s survey of Trumbull County. Southington serves as a central hub where diagonal routes like State Road and Girdle Road intersect the rigid township grids. The settlement of Delightful sits at a prominent junction in the south, while the community of Phalanx is positioned near the winding course of Eagle Creek and the Erie RR.

Industrial and agricultural transit is defined by the Baltimore and Ohio line cutting across the landscape. The northern reaches include the headwaters of the Grand River and the quiet drainage of Dead Branch. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies small burial sites like Reform Cem and landmarks such as the Gaging Sta near the Mahoning River, providing a look at the rural infrastructure before late-century suburban expansion.
