1961 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Huntington and Sullivan anchor this rural landscape within the historic Connecticut Western Reserve, where three counties—Ashland, Lorain, and Medina—converge. The region is defined by its transition from forest to field, with extensive Oil Wells scattered near the West Fork of the Black River. Significant infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Grade and the Akron Canton and Youngstown Railroad crossing the terrain. For genealogists, the map preserves several local burial grounds such as Southview Cem, Gould Cem, and Marsh Cem. Educational and recreational life is centered around Black River High Sch and Findley State Park, which includes Findley Lake and a surrounding State Wildlife Area at the northern edge of the survey.
