About this map

Salineville sits along the southern edge of this Columbiana County landscape, where the town’s street grid meets the winding course of Little Yellow Creek. The area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Saint Patricks Cem and Woodland Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this part of eastern Ohio. Further north, the small crossroads of Gavers serves as a central hub for the surrounding township roads.

The topography is defined by the bifurcated drainage of the West Fork Little Beaver Creek and its various tributaries like Brush Run and Rowley Run. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in features such as Industrial Mining Lake and the Highlandtown Reservoir to the east. Historical landmarks like the McKaigs Mill Bridge and McClellan Bridge offer clues to the older transportation network that once supported the local milling and mining economy.
