2010 Map of Bessemer

About this map

Bessemer and its surrounding Lawrence County landscape are defined by a network of rural roads and vital waterways. The Mahoning River and Shenango River flow through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, with Shaw Island situated within the current. Small tributaries such as Sugar Creek, Edwards Run, and Jenkins Run drain the rolling terrain. The area's infrastructure is marked by several small airfields, including Gwin Airport, Evans Airport, Reno Airport, and Kimmel Airport, suggesting a significant regional aviation presence. Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial sites, specifically Madonna Cemetery, Valley View Cemetery, and Mount Jackson Cemetery. Local history is further preserved in the names of thoroughfares like Smalls Ferry Rd and Mohawk School Rd, which reflect the historic connectivity of these Pennsylvania communities.
