1959 Map of Windsor

About this map

The Grand River and its numerous tributaries, including Phelps Creek and Indian Creek, dominate this rural corner of the Connecticut Western Reserve. In the mid-20th century, the landscape is defined by its agrarian roots and family-named hollows like White Hollow and Hoskins Hollow. Small crossroads settlements such as Windsor Mills and Stoneville appear alongside evidence of local recreation and resource extraction, ranging from Camp Whitewood in the south to a Gaging Station and Gravel Pit. The map documents the boundary between Ashtabula and Trumbull Counties, capturing the transition between the townships of Hartsgrove, Rome, and Windsor. A network of unpaved roads and distinct field lines, many photo-revised in 1970, shows the persistent agricultural structure of the area. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Pioneer Cem and Loomis Cem, and the community hub of Grand Valley Ch.
