About this map

New Castle serves as a dense industrial anchor in the southern portion of this landscape, where the Mahoning River and Shenango River converge. This 1905 survey, published in 1925, reveals a region defined by its complex transportation network, featuring the Erie RR, Pennsylvania RR, and the Baltimore and Ohio RR. The prevalence of named stations like Oakland Sta and Wilmington Junction underscores the importance of rail transit to the local economy during the early twentieth century.

Rural life is meticulously documented through a high density of country schools and churches, including White Chapel, Rich Hill Church, and the Mitchell School. In the north, the terrain transitions toward Keel Ridge and the winding course of Neshannock Creek. Small, often vanished settlements like Fayetteville Fay PO and Filers Corners provide essential data for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in Lawrence and Mercer Counties before the era of modern highway expansion.
