About this map

The Ravenna Arsenal U S Military Reservation dominates the eastern landscape of this 1960 survey, a massive government footprint that transitions into the industrial and residential core of Ravenna. In the city center, a network of social and civic infrastructure is visible, including the Courthouse, High Sch, and Maple Grove Cem. The southern reach of the map shows the emerging Michael J Kirwan Reservoir on the West Branch Mahoning River, a significant hydrological change near the small settlement of Campbellsport.

Transportation corridors define the regional connectivity, with the Ohio Turnpike cutting across the northern townships of Shalersville and Freedom. Major rail lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central, converge on the city, illustrating the area's role as a transit hub. Farther out, rural hamlets like Drakesburg and Freedom Sta maintain their identity alongside numerous resources such as Oil Wells and a Quarry.
