About this map

Pymatuning Creek and the Shenango River carve through the agricultural landscape of eastern Trumbull County in this early twentieth-century survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of township lines and small rail-centered settlements, reflecting the peak of the rural railroad era before modern highway expansion. Significant hubs like Kinsman and Cortland serve as anchors, while smaller stations such as Farmdale PO Kinsman Sta and Nutwood Fowler Sta illustrate the vital link between local post offices and rail transit.

The presence of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and the Erie RR indicates a region deeply integrated into the industrial corridors connecting Ohio and Pennsylvania. Distinctive local landmarks like the State Line Church underscore the community life along the border, while the many named runs, including Confusion Run and Smith Run, highlight the complex local drainage into the larger river valleys.
