About this map

The Mahoning River and its industrial corridor dominate this mid-century view of Youngstown, a landscape defined by its heavy rail infrastructure and post-war residential expansion. The city is segmented into distinct neighborhoods such as the West Side, North Side, and South Side, while the steel industry's legacy is visible in the dense network of Conrail, B & O, and Youngstown Southern railroad lines. To the west, the suburban character of Austintown and Canfield is emerging, marked by the presence of the Ohio Turnpike.

Preserved green space along Mill Creek Park offers a sharp contrast to the urban grid, featuring a string of reservoirs including Lake Glacier, Lake Cohasset, and Lake Newport. This area is a primary resource for local history, documenting numerous schools such as Ursuline High School and Volney Rogers High School, alongside major landmarks like Youngstown State University and several expansive cemeteries like Calvary Cemetery.
