1943 Map of Cambridge Springs

About this map

Edinboro Lake and the surrounding resort and college landscape define the center of this 1943 survey of Northwestern Pennsylvania. The Erie railroad line tracks through the southern portion of the sheet, connecting the borough of Cambridge Springs with the junction at Blystone Jc along the banks of French Creek. This era reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, with nearly every few miles marked by a neighborhood schoolhouse, such as Kinter Hill Sch or Gillespie Sch, and local crossroads like Mishler Corners. The transition from Erie County to Crawford County is documented through these small-scale agricultural and community hubs, including the settlement of Crossingville and the spiritual center at Bethel Ch.
