1961 Map of Orangeville

About this map

The Shenango River Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this Trumbull County region, where the state line with Pennsylvania forms a sharp divide between the communities of Orangeville and South Pymatuning. During this mid-century period, the area maintained a rural industrial character, evidenced by a Quarry and Borrow Pit near Hartford. The Conrail rail lines intersect the landscape, connecting small hubs like Latimer and Burghill to the larger industrial center of Sharon to the southeast. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain through family and community landmarks such as Artherholt Cem, St Marys Cemetery, and the Sharon Speedway, which sits just east of the village of Hartford. This survey captures the transition of the local economy from strictly agricultural pursuits toward modern recreation and regional transport networks.
