1958 Map of Sharon East

About this map

The Sharon industrial corridor and the growing suburban landscape of Hickory township are captured here during a period of mid-century transition. The map details the dense urban layout of Farrell and Wheatland along the Shenango River, where the rail infrastructure of the Penn Central line supported the region's manufacturing base. Beyond the city limits, the terrain rises toward Keel Ridge and Dutch Hill, showing the evolution of local landmarks like Buhl Park and numerous cemeteries including Oakwood Cem and Hillcrest Memorial Park.
