About this map

The Mahoning River corridor serves as the industrial backbone of this region, where the heavy presence of Slag Dumps and extensive rail networks like Conrail and the Baltimore and Ohio define the landscape between Niles and Girard. This survey, updated with 1970s revisions, captures the post-war expansion of the Youngstown area, marked by the emergence of Interchanges and suburban developments like McKinley Heights and Churchill.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Girard Liberty Union Cemetery and several Jewish cemeteries such as Anshe Emeth Cem and Children of Israel Cem. The map also preserves the locations of numerous historic crossroads and small settlements like Tibbetts Corners, Loys Corners, and Sodom, many of which were being absorbed by the growing urban footprint of Youngstown.
