About this map

The Mahoning River and the extensive waters of the Berlin Reservoir dominate the southern landscape of this Portage County survey. Grounded in 1952 photography with 1970 revisions, the map reveals a transition between rural crossroads and emerging industrial footprints. The village of Deerfield sits just north of the reservoir, while further north, the community of Diamond marks the intersection of the Penn Central railroad and local trade routes.

Surface mining activity is prominent in the southwestern corner near Willow Creek, where several Strip Mines are clearly delineated. Local history is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Yale Ch, the Akron YWCA Camp, and the Southeast High Sch. Old river crossings like Garters Ford and a network of secondary roads such as Fewtown Road and Whippoorwill Road provide a detailed view of the area's mid-century development.
