About this map

South Hill and the surrounding plateau of Erie County define this 1967 landscape, where a dense network of country roads connects family-named crossroads and rural settlements. This period of the mid-1960s, with updates into the 1970s, captures the area during a transition from purely agricultural use to the development of modern education and infrastructure, notably marked by the presence of General McLane High Sch and a series of radio towers near the Summit boundary.

Local history is preserved in the numerous named corners and small communities such as Sibleyville, Draketown, and McLane. Waterways like Elk Creek and Little Conneautee Creek cut through the terrain, while landmarks like Washington Valley Ch and various Cemeteries provide essential points of reference for genealogists. The map also documents the local industry of the era, including several Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit.
