1994 Map of Elkton

About this map

Elkton and the surrounding townships of Elkrun and Fairfield define this landscape, where the rugged topography of the Pine Hollow region meets the industrial legacy of eastern Ohio. Extensively marked by Strip Mine operations and Strip Mines, the terrain reveals a history of resource extraction that shaped local development alongside the Youngstown and Southern rail line. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Bethel-Fairfield Cem, Cool Springs Cem, and the family-named Kembles Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions into the protected woodlands of Beaver Creek State Park, where the Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek winds through the valley. This 1994 update of earlier surveys maintains the positions of local landmarks like the Church Hill Ch and several one-room school sites, such as the Township Sch, providing a clear view of the area's rural social structure before modern expansion.
