1960 Map of Thompson

About this map

The Ledges rise prominently east of Thompson, defining the local topography as the terrain descends toward Mill Creek and Trumbull Creek. This survey captures the rural landscape of Geauga County in the mid-twentieth century, showing a network of established family roads like Doty Road and Moseley Road. The area is marked by a blend of institutional and recreational sites, including the Ledgemont High Sch, Thompson Lodge Township Park, and a Boy Scout Camp near the Grand River. Grounded in the Connecticut Western Reserve land lines, the map reflects a community defined by its township centers, such as Leroy Center, and local religious hubs like St Patricks Ch and Grace Ch. To the north, the winding course of the Grand River cuts through Stony Glen, providing a sharp contrast to the more uniform agricultural and residential parcels found farther south.
