About this map

Oil Creek and the Penn Central railroad corridor define the valley floor in this 1960s study of eastern Crawford County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of namesake crossroads like Drake Corners, Steuben Corners, and Moss Grove Corners, which trace the early settlement patterns of Athens, Rome, and Troy townships. Large tracts of State Game Lands No 122 and State Game Lands No 199 cover the wooded uplands, preserving the rural character of the region.

Industrial and community hubs are visible at Centerville and Tryonville, where the railway supported commerce alongside stations like Grays Mills Sta. Local history researchers will find a wealth of details including family-named landmarks like McGinnet Corners, the Highway Tabernacle, and cemeteries such as Sunnyside Cem. The map captures the agricultural and timber-inflected landscape before modern development altered these small Pennsylvania hamlets.
