About this map

Mahoning River industry and heavy rail dominate the valley through central Youngstown, as seen in this 1963 survey revised with late-1970s urban growth. The map illustrates a city defined by its neighborhoods, from Brier Hill and North Side to Fosterville and Cornersburg. This era shows a community rich in infrastructure, featuring many parochial institutions like Cardinal Mooney High Sch and St Christine Sch.

Mill Creek Park serves as a massive green anchor, following the winding Mill Creek through a series of reservoirs including Lake Glacier, Lake Cohasset, and Lake Newport. Cultural landmarks of the period are well-represented, including the prominent Idora Park and Youngstown College, while the surrounding townships of Austintown, Boardman, and Canfield begin to show the sprawling residential expansion and commercial hubs like Boardman Plaza Shopping Center.
