1908 Map of Youngstown

About this map

The Mahoning River valley serves as the industrial spine of this region during the first decade of the 1900s, anchoring a dense network of iron and steel towns. In the city of Youngstown, urban development clusters along the riverbanks, reaching out to recreation sites like Idora Park and outlying neighborhoods like East Youngstown. The industrial character is underscored by the convergence of major transit lines, including the Erie Railroad, Baltimore And Ohio Railroad, and the Pittsburgh And Lake Erie Railroad System.
