1966 Map of Lake Milton

About this map

Lake Milton and the Mahoning River corridor serve as the primary landmarks in this 1960s study of Mahoning County. The landscape is defined by the juxtaposition of recreational development and rural agricultural heritage, featuring an Amusement Park and Golf Course alongside long-established rural centers like Berlin Center and Smith Corners. The presence of the Penn Central railroad, with stops at Ellsworth Sta and Berlin Center Sta, highlights the enduring importance of rail infrastructure for the small communities and industrial sites, such as the local Gravel Pit and Gas Well. Numerous family-named cemeteries, including Vaughn Cem and Eckis Cem, offer significant research value for genealogists tracing the early residents of Milton and Ellsworth townships. The map also records the transition of the northern shoreline at Craig Beach and Sunset Beach, areas that became focal points for local growth and leisure during the post-war era.
