1958 Map of Sharpsville

About this map

The Shenango River Lake dominates this mid-century landscape, a significant water body created along the winding course of the Shenango River. The 1958 topographic survey, updated through the early 1980s, reveals a mix of industrial riverfront development and rural crossroads. In the south, the borough of Sharpsville and the edge of Sharon show dense residential and infrastructure growth near the Conrail rail lines, while further north, smaller settlements like Transfer and Clark sit amidst a network of township roads. Local family and community landmarks are frequent, including Pritchards Corner and Lamonts Corners, alongside spiritual centers such as the Shenango Valley Bible Ch and Bethel Tabernacle. The terrain is marked by the prominent Prospect Ridge and multiple stream valleys, including Pymatuning Creek and Hickory Run, which drain into the central reservoir system.
