1962 Map of Sharon West

About this map

The industrial corridor of the Mahoning Valley and the Ohio-Pennsylvania state line anchor this landscape, where the heavy rail infrastructure of Conrail connects the manufacturing hubs of Sharon, Farrell, and Hubbard. This mid-century survey captures the region's dense urban development alongside remnants of its earlier rural character, such as Paynes Corner and Brookfield Station. Significant social and civic anchors are well-documented, particularly the clustered Catholic institutions of St Patricks Sch, St Patricks Ch, and St Patricks Cem in Hubbard. The terrain is shaped by the drainage of Yankee Run and the artificial Coalburg Lake, while the presence of a U S Military Reservation near Salow Corners reflects the era's strategic land use. From the residential neighborhoods of Yankee Hills to the northern edge of Youngstown, the map provides a look at the infrastructure of the postwar American rust belt.
