About this map

The Mahoning River winds through this Trumbull County landscape, serving as a corridor for heavy industry and transportation. The river's path connects established settlements like Newton Falls and Leavittsburg with the massive infrastructure of the US Military Reservation Ravenna Arsenal on the western edge. This mid-century survey reveals an economy built on rail and road, where the Ohio Turnpike cuts across the terrain near the sprawling industrial footprint of a Slag Pile and multiple quarries in Lordstown.

Southward, the landscape shifts toward the recreational and residential character of Lake Milton, where the Milton Dam regulates the water levels near the community of Craig Beach. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-scale and local burial grounds, including St Michaels Cem, Wilderson Cem, and Duck Creek Cem, which sit alongside historic transit points like Phalanx Station and Pricetown.
