About this map

The Shenango River and Mahoning River valleys define the landscape of Lawrence County in this mid-century survey, updated with late-1980s data. The area's industrial legacy is clearly visible through numerous strip mines and a large Slag Pile, particularly near Hillsville and the western border. These extractive footprints contrast with public spaces like the State Game Land No 150 and Rolling Hills Golf Course.

Settlement patterns follow the river bends and rail lines, from the established village of Pulaski to smaller clusters like Frizzleburg and Peanut. Transportation infrastructure is a central theme, featuring the Penn Central tracks, an Old Railroad grade, and the New Castle Municipal Airport. Local social history is anchored by rural institutions such as Cotton Sch, Kings Chapel, and the Drive-in Theater near Parkstown.
