1962 Map of Sharon West

About this map

The Sharon and Farrell industrial corridor along the Shenango River anchors this 1962 study of the Ohio and Pennsylvania borderlands. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grids of Hubbard and Youngstown to the semi-rural patches of Trumbull County, marked by significant infrastructure including the New York Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads. Notable local landmarks such as Petroleum and Coalburg reflect the region's extraction-based heritage, while the U S Military Reservation and numerous country clubs like Yankee Run indicate a post-war shift in land use. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of parochial institutions like St Patricks School and several burial grounds, including Maple Grove Cemetery and Mt Hope Park Cemetery.
