1959 Map of Warren

About this map

The Mahoning River winds through this industrial landscape, where the urban centers of Warren and Niles are linked by a dense network of Conrail and Baltimore and Ohio rail lines. This late-1950s environment reflects the height of Ohio's steel-era infrastructure, evidenced by the large Slag Dump and numerous neighborhood schools like McKinley High Sch and Harding High Sch. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Meander Creek Reservoir, a massive water project with its spillway near Ohltown. Neighborhoods are densely packed with local landmarks, ranging from Packard Park to the Radio Towers (WHHH) in Lordstown. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery data, documenting sites such as Oakwood Cemetery, St Marys Cem, and the House of Israel Cem.
