1952 Map of West Farmington

About this map

Mesopotamia and West Farmington anchor this Trumbull County landscape in the early 1950s, a region defined by its orderly rural settlement and the winding course of the Grand River. The map highlights the agricultural and transport infrastructure of the mid-century, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts through the southern terrain near Farmington. Numerous small rural intersections like Coffee Corners and Center Creek Corners indicate a well-established network of farm-to-market roads, including the historically named Girdle Road and Plank Road. Local family history is preserved through features such as Hillside Cem and Fairview Cem. The presence of several distinct branches of Swine Creek and Coffee Creek reveals a complex drainage system across the townships of Bloomfield and Bristol, characteristic of this part of the Connecticut Western Reserve.
