1907 Map of Neshannock

About this map

The Shenango River and Mahoning River valleys define the industrial and agricultural landscape of this Western Pennsylvania region at the turn of the century. The map highlights a dense network of early 20th-century transportation, where the Erie RR, Pennsylvania RR, and Baltimore and Ohio RR converge to support the growing steel and manufacturing hubs of Sharon, South Sharon, and West Newcastle. Away from the river corridors, the landscape transitions into established township life, marked by numerous rural education sites like Wilson School and Shepard School.
