About this map

The Shenango River Reservoir dominates this landscape along the Ohio and Pennsylvania border, with blue hatching indicating land destined for submergence as part of a controlled inundation project. The village of Kinsman serves as a local hub, situated near Kinsman Lake and the Badger High Sch. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several smaller settlements and family-named intersections such as Mayburn Corners, Stulls Corners, and Biggin Corners, alongside local landmarks like Giddings Ch and Rocky Ridge Cem.

Industrial and transport history is represented by the New York Central railroad line passing through Farmdale (Kinsman Sta) and a Sand and Gravel Pit near Pymatuning Creek. The survey highlights the transition of the valley from agricultural lands, marked by fence and field lines, into a managed water resource. Notable terrain features like Kinsman Ridge provide a backdrop to the network of rural routes, including the Kinsman Nickerson Road and Perkins Greenville Road.
