About this map

Limaville and Marlboro anchor this northeast Ohio landscape as it appeared during a period of transition in the late twentieth century. The map captures the meeting point of Portage Co and Stark Co, where rural agricultural lands are bisected by industrial corridors. A notable feature of this era is the presence of a Pipeline (Coal) running north-south through Lexington, illustrating the region's historical role in energy transport.

The rail infrastructure of the Penn Central line serves the northern edge of Alliance, connecting smaller settlements like Maxime and Harrisburg. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several landmarks of community life, including the Queen of Peace Monastery, the Molly Stark Hospital, and numerous family and community burial grounds such as St Pauls Cem and Quaker Hill Cem. The northeastern corner is defined by the waters of Berlin Lake, showing the controlled hydrology of Deer Creek.
