About this map

Alliance serves as the focal point of this region where four Ohio counties—Stark, Mahoning, Columbiana, and Portage—converge. The urban landscape of the city is anchored by the Univ of Mt Union campus and numerous historic cemeteries, including the Alliance City Cem and the Dutch Church Cem. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a more open landscape defined by significant water management features like Berlin Lake and Deer Cr Reservoir.

Smaller outlying settlements such as North Benton, Lexington, and Sebring are linked by a grid of rural routes including German Church Rd and S Range Rd. The presence of multiple landing strips, including Barber Airport and the Alliance Airport, highlights the area's importance as a regional transportation node. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family plots in smaller, scattered burial grounds like Lexington Cem and Quaker Hill Cem.
