1960 Map of Gavers

About this map

Dungannon and Salineville anchor this portion of Columbiana County, showing a landscape defined by the winding course of the West Fork Little Beaver Creek and its many tributaries like Brush Creek. The 1960s terrain reveals a mix of rural settlement and industrial extraction, with numerous Strip Mines peppered across the northern hills. Deep-rooted community history is visible through several religious landmarks, including St Pauls Cem near the northern boundary and St Patricks Cem to the south. The southern reaches of the map are dominated by the Highlandtown Wildlife Area and the Highlandtown Res, reflecting a shift toward conservation and recreation during the mid-20th century. Transportation is centered on the Penn Central rail line cutting through the southern valleys, while the historic Geographers Line provides a surveying anchor for the township boundaries.
