About this map

The county seat of Lisbon serves as the focal point of this Eastern Ohio landscape, where the Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek winds through a valley shaped by heavy industry and transit. By the early 1970s, the area's economic foundations are visible in the numerous strip mines that pockmark the hillsides, particularly around Logtown and Leetonia. The transport network is anchored by the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads, which facilitated the movement of coal and industrial goods through the region.

Local history and genealogy are deeply embedded in the rural outskirts, from the Covered Bridge near Teegarden to a dense concentration of family and community landmarks. Researchers can locate established sites such as St Jacobs Ch, the Phillips Cem, and the Guilford Lake State Reserve. The presence of the Phyllis Lakefront Airport and the Filtration Plant at the Salem Reservoir reflects the mid-century infrastructure supporting the growth of Columbiana County.
