About this map

Salem anchors this landscape at the intersection of Mahoning and Columbiana counties, serving as a hub of civic life with its City Hall, Library, and Hospital facilities. The city's residential and industrial growth is framed by the Conrail line and organized around thoroughfares like E State St and S Ellsworth Ave. To the north, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural hamlets such as New Albany, Greenford, and Middletown, which are connected by a grid of agricultural routes including Western Reserve Road and Calla Road.

The hydrography of the region is defined by the Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, which carve through the landscape past numerous gravel pits and mines. This era shows a community balanced between its industrial roots and recreational spaces, from the Centennial Park in town to Western Reserve Lake and Copacia Lake on the outskirts. Genealogists will find significant detail in the area's many burial grounds, including Hope Cem, Grandview Cem, and the remote Dutch Ridge Cem.
