1962 Map of Sharon West

About this map

The Ohio-Pennsylvania border corridor in the early 1960s was a landscape defined by industrial centers and rail lines, most notably where the Sharon and Farrell urban areas meet the Shenango River. This survey captures the region just before significant interstate expansion, highlighting established neighborhoods in Hubbard and the unincorporated community of Masury. The industrial heart of the valley is evident in the dense network of the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads, which linked these steel-producing towns to the broader regional economy.
