About this map

Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek meanders through the heart of Columbiana County, shaping a landscape defined by its industrial transit and water management in the mid-20th century. The village of Lisbon serves as a focal point, featuring the Anderson High Sch and Memorial Stadium near the confluence of the Little Beaver Creek. This era shows a complex intersection of infrastructure, where the Erie-Lackawanna and Penn Central railroads cut across the terrain, passing through smaller communities like Franklin Square and Leetonia.

Extensive coal extraction is evident in the numerous Strip Mine operations scattered throughout the townships of Salem and Center. These industrial sites contrast with the recreational and civic developments at Guilford Lake State Reserve and the Salem Reservoir. Local history is preserved in the many family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including a Covered Bridge near Teegarden and the Phyllis Lakefront Airport near the reservoir.
