About this map

Draketown and Sibleyville anchor this corner of Erie County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and small creek valleys. The drainage patterns of Little Conneauttee Cr and Elk Cr dictate the layout of early rural settlements, many of which are identified as "Corners," such as Phelps Corners, Strongs Corners, and McLallen Corners. These labels point to a historic pattern of development clustered at crossroads, a hallmark of the Pennsylvania rural economy in this region.

Transportation is dominated by the corridor of Us-19 and the Perry Hwy in the northeast, while agricultural and residential tracts are accessed via named routes like Old State Rd and Draketown Rd. The presence of the South Woods Golf Course in the northwest indicates the modern transition from strictly agricultural use to recreational land. Smaller hamlets like Bagdad situated along Trout Run further illustrate the distribution of 19th and 20th-century communities across the McKean Township area.
