About this map

The Meander Creek Reservoir bisects this mid-century landscape, a massive water body that reshaped the local geography of Jackson and Austintown townships. Suburban expansion is evident on the eastern margins near Austintown, where developments like the Shopping Center and a Drive-in Theater appear alongside established institutions like Fitch High Sch. The map preserves a network of specific local crossroads and corners, including Shively Corners, Lipkey Corners, and Misner Corners, which ground the area's rural-to-suburban transition.

In the southern reaches, the County Fairgrounds and the County Experimental Farm indicate the enduring agricultural character of Canfield. Historical researchers can find numerous small burial grounds and spiritual centers, such as the Dean Hill Cem and the quiet grounds of the St Pauls Monastery. Transportation infrastructure is a dominant theme, from the Conrail line in the northwest to the sweeping path of the Ohio Turnpike cutting across the north.
