About this map

The Sharon and Farrell industrial corridor along the Shenango River defines this landscape, where the Conrail lines intersect with the heavy manufacturing and rail-dependent economy of the Ohio-Pennsylvania borderlands. During this era, the expansion of Hubbard and Youngstown is visible in the suburban subdivisions and community institutions like St Patricks Sch and Sacred Heart of Jesus Sch.

Beyond the urban centers, the terrain transitions into the mixed-use spaces of the US Military Reservation and leisure destinations like Yankee Run Country Club. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as St Patricks Cem and Mt Hope Park Cemetery, while smaller settlements like Petroleum, Coalburg, and Paynes Corner show the enduring footprint of earlier extraction and agricultural hamlets. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 20th century, including the West Middlesex Airport and the damming at Coalburg Lake.
