About this map

The Mahoning River carves through the industrial and urban heart of Youngstown, revealing a dense grid of neighborhoods including Brier Hill, Wickliffe, and Austintown. This mid-1990s landscape is defined by its institutional and recreational anchors, from the sprawling campus of Youngstown State University to the extensive green corridor of Mill Creek Park. The park system, following Mill Creek, creates a distinct chain of waterways including Lake Glacier, Lake Cohasset, and Lake Newport, offering a sharp contrast to the surrounding residential and commercial zones.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the extensive network of parochial education and burial grounds that supported the city's diverse population, such as Calvary Cemetery, St Marys Cem, and numerous parish schools like St Brendans Sch and St Johns Sch. Beyond the city center, the map illustrates the post-war suburban shift toward Boardman, marked by the Boardman Plaza Shopping Center and residential corners like McKays Corners and Starrs Corners.
