1951 Map of Columbiana

About this map

Columbiana sits at the heart of this survey of the Mahoning and Columbiana county line during the early 1950s. The landscape is a network of rural hamlets and agricultural townships, including North Lima, New Buffalo, and East Lewistown. Local infrastructure is defined by the Erie Railroad and the Youngstown And Southern tracks, which facilitated the region's transport long before modern highway expansion. Significant community landmarks like Firestone Park and the Lesher Airfield appear alongside numerous rural spiritual centers such as Pleasant View Ch Cem and Zion Hill Ch Cem. The drainage patterns of Mill Creek and Bull Creek flow through the townships, feeding into prominent water bodies like Pine Lake and Beaver Lake, illustrating the careful management of local water resources for the surrounding Fairfield and Beaver townships.
