About this map

Plumville and the surrounding townships of West Mahoning and South Mahoning sit at a geographic crossroads defined by the Armstrong and Indiana county line. In the late 1960s, this landscape reflected a legacy of resource extraction and local industry, with a Strip Mine and a Tipple near Sagamore indicating the area's coal-producing heritage. An Old Railroad Grade and numerous Jeep Trails snake through the hills, marking the transit routes of a previous generation.

Water plays a central role in the terrain, with Little Mahoning Creek Lake in the north and the early presence of Keystone Lake to the southwest. Cultural centers are anchored by rural institutions like Hoosicks Mill and a cluster of churches including SS Peter and Paul Ch and the Smicksburg Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial grounds such as Dunkard Cem and Sacred Heart Cem.
