About this map

The industrial and transportation hub of Corry anchors this late 1960s survey, showing the city's complex rail network where the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna lines converge. The landscape is a mix of urban density and rural Pennsylvania forest, with the northern boundary following the New York Pennsylvania state line. Significant institutional landmarks are visible throughout the city, including the Corry Area High Sch, Hosp, and St Edwards Sch, while the outskirts are marked by resource management and recreation sites like the State Fish Hatchery and State Game Lands No 154.

Smaller surrounding settlements such as Elgin and Lovell are documented along the South Branch French Creek, reflecting the traditional drainage-oriented development of Erie County. Genealogists can find numerous burial sites across the township, from the centrally located Pine Grove Cem to the outlying Wheelock Cem and Concord Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pits and scattered Gas Wells indicates the ongoing extraction economy of the region at this time.
