The settlements that are gone
The Geographic Names Information System records 8 places in Columbiana County, Ohio that are no longer settlements. The government mapped every one of them, and those sheets survive.
No longer settlements
8A place leaves this list only by being unmade: the post office closes, the mine works out, the road moves. The name stays in the federal gazetteer, flagged historical, and the topographic sheets that recorded it stay in the archive.

Provenance
- Which settlements are gone. Geographic Names Information System, United States Geological Survey. A place is listed here when the federal gazetteer flags its record historical; that is the government's judgement, not this site's.
- Where each one stood. The gazetteer's own coordinates, and the nearest named landform and quadrangle from the same file.
- Distance and direction to the nearest surviving place. Computed here from the gazetteer coordinates of both places, straight line, to the nearest tenth of a mile.
- Sheets. USGS Historical Topographic Map Collection. The count is of sheets covering the site, so it describes how often the AREA was surveyed and not how long the settlement lasted.
