About this map

Lake Milton and the Berlin Reservoir dominate this 1952 study of Mahoning County, illustrating a landscape shaped by water management and the Mahoning River. The map highlights several lakeside developments such as Craig Beach, Sunset Beach, and Canyon Park, alongside the massive Milton Dam structure. Away from the shoreline, the inland character is defined by a dense network of family-named road junctions and rural crossroads, including Flicks Corners, Smith Corners, and Wolf Corners.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial foundations appears in labels for Shilling Mill, a Strip Mine, and the Pennsylvania railroad line serving Ellsworth Sta. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community landmarks such as St Catherine Ch, Mt Moriah Ch, and the Vaughn and Eckis cemeteries. This era represents a period where traditional rural infrastructure, like the Milton Sch and Berlin Center Sta, existed alongside the growing recreational appeal of the county's reservoirs.
