About this map

The village of Garrettsville serves as a primary hub for this mid-century portrait of northeastern Ohio, where the crossing of the Erie-Lackawanna railroad and Silver Creek defines the local industrial and transport corridor. To the northeast, the landscape transitions into the distinctive geological formations of Nelson Ledge State Park and Kennedy Ledge, illustrating how the region's unique sandstone outcrops became preserved natural landmarks. Small rural centers like Parkman and Nelson remain connected by a network of named country roads, such as Agler Road and Bradford Road, reflecting the area's agricultural foundation.

Genealogists can find significant detail in the numerous community markers, from the Lady of Fatima Ch to family-named burial grounds like Mumford Cem and Harrington Cem. The map also captures the local educational infrastructure at Garfield High Sch and industrial activity at several Sand & Rock Pits, showing a balanced economy of farming, extraction, and small-town commerce along the upper reaches of the Mahoning River.
