About this map

Salem sits at the heart of this survey, serving as a primary hub where the historical boundaries of Mahoning and Columbiana counties meet. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek and its various tributaries, including Meander Creek and Stone Mill Run. This map reveals a high density of rural burial sites and congregations, such as the Bethel Methodist Episcopal Cemetery and Dutch Ridge Cemetery, which point to the established 19th-century settlement patterns of the region.

Transport and commerce are anchored by the Salem Airpark Inc and the rail corridors connecting Washingtonville and Leetonia in the southeast. Significant wetland areas like the New Albany Marsh contrast with the organized street grids of the towns and the various corner settlements like Bowmans Corners and Toots Corners, illustrating the gradual shift from traditional agriculture to a more interconnected modern landscape.
