1961 Map of Orangeville

About this map

The Ohio Pennsylvania state line bisects this landscape, defined by the winding waters of the Shenango River Lake and the industrial infrastructure of the early 1960s. Rail lines like the New York Central and the Erie-Lackawanna cross the region, connecting rural crossroads such as Hartford and Burghill with the northern edge of Sharon. The mapping of the Shenango River Lake highlights the era’s water management and recreation projects, while the surrounding hills, including Trautman Hill and Clark Hill, remain dotted with family-named roads and small community landmarks.
