About this map

East Palestine serves as the industrial and population hub of this borderland, where the Penna RR cuts through the valley and defines the urban corridor. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's extractive history, showing numerous Strip Mines and several areas identified as Reclaimed Strip Mine. This interplay between industrial activity and natural recovery is visible alongside established rural settlements like Negley, Rogers, and Unity.

Researchers will find a wealth of genealogical details in the outlying townships of Unity and Middleton. Local landmarks such as the Captain Taggart Sch and St Marys Ch appear alongside family-named burial grounds like Mason Rich Cem. To the south, the terrain softens around Tomahawk Lake and Spruce Lake, while the eastern edge follows the rugged transition into Pennsylvania's State Game Lands No 285.
