1994 Map of Damascus

About this map

Damascus sits at the junction of four townships along the Mahoning Co Columbiana Co line, serving as a central hub for a landscape defined by traditional Ohio agriculture and small crossroads settlements. This 1994 photoinspection reveals a network of rural communities including Beloit, Garfield, and Snodes, connected by historic corridors like the Western Reserve Road and Calla Road. The northern edge is dominated by the waters of Berlin Lake and its associated State Wildlife Area, while the 3 Tracks railroad line cuts a straight path through the township of Goshen. The map details local social anchors, from the West Branch High Sch and Camp Merrydale to quiet landmarks like Wilbur Ch and the secluded Seva-keen Lake. Traces of the Connecticut Western Reserve surveying tradition are visible in the alignment of roads and land boundaries across the county line.
