1947 Map of Conrad

About this map

Conrad and the neighboring settlement of Logue sit at the confluence of several vital waterways in the north-central Pennsylvania highlands. This 1947 survey captures a landscape of deep hollows and high ridges, where the East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek and Sinnemahoning Creek dictate the pattern of human activity. The map reveals the early infrastructure of the region, from the Gravel Lick Trail to a network of old logging or access roads like McConnell Road and Stony Lick Road. Family history is anchored by the McFall Cem and Brooks Cem, positioned near the valley floors. The presence of numerous gas wells and a prominent Pipeline suggests the industrial transition of the mid-20th century, as the economy shifted toward resource extraction. High points like Pine Hill, Bunnell Ridge, and the junction at Five Points overlook a complex drainage system defined by family-named features such as Jamison Run and Bunnell Run.
