About this map

Mill Creek Park dominates the central landscape of this 1963 survey, following the winding course of Mill Creek through a series of reservoirs including Lake Glacier, Lake Cohasset, and Lake Newport. The map captures the industrial and urban density of Youngstown during the post-war era, with the heavy infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail railroads lining the Mahoning River valley. Residential expansion is evident in the surrounding townships of Austintown, Boardman, and Canfield.

For local historians, the sheet identifies numerous neighborhood landmarks, from the Idora Park amusement grounds to a dense network of parochial institutions like St Marys Ch and Cardinal Mooney High School. Genealogical value is found in the clearly delineated boundaries of Calvary Cemetery, Forest Lawn Memorial Park, and several smaller burial grounds, alongside established local hubs like Fosterville and Cornersburg.
