About this map

Columbiana sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the Youngstown and Southern Railway intersects with a network of local roads crossing the Mahoning Co Columbiana Co line. The map reveals a post-war landscape of expanding residential pockets like North Lima and Woodworth set against a backdrop of industrial activity. Extensive strip mine operations and several quarries are visible, particularly near Morgantown and Willow Crest, indicating the heavy reliance on mineral extraction during this period.

Water management is a central theme, evidenced by substantial reservoirs such as Pine Lake, Evans Lake, and Beaver Lake. For local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of numerous community anchors, including St Marys Friary, Firestone Park, and rural landmarks like Mt Olivet Ch and the Paulin Cem. The intersection of the Ohio Turnpike at Interchange 16 signals the modernization of transport that would further reshape these eastern Ohio townships.
