About this map

The confluence of the Shenango River and the Mahoning River dominates this late-1950s landscape in Lawrence County, where a complex network of industrial transport reflects the era's heavy manufacturing focus. The region is interlaced with major rail lines including the Pennsylvania Railroad, Erie Railroad, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. These tracks serve a series of settlements from Pulaski in the north to the industrial corridor at Hillsville and Edinburg in the south.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain rises toward High Hill and Bird Hill, revealing a patchwork of rural and developing areas. Small community centers such as Frizzleburg and New Bedford are marked by local landmarks like St James Ch and several country schools. The presence of a Strip Mine, a Gravel Pit, and a large Slag Pile near Nashua provides evidence of the extractive industries that powered the local economy alongside the New Castle Airport.
