About this map

Corry serves as the industrial and transportation hub of this 1932 survey, situated at the busy junction of the Pennsylvania RR and the Erie RR. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by these rail corridors and the Roosevelt Highway, which connect the manufacturing center to smaller outlying communities like Spartansburg and Elgin. The surrounding rural townships are densely populated with family-named landmarks and local institutions, ranging from Scotia Ch in the north to the White Chapel near the southern border.

Water and terrain define the local industry and settlement patterns, with Brokenstraw Creek and French Creek cutting through the hills. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of rural education sites, including the uniquely named Picidilli Sch, Harbor Hall Sch, and Daytown Sch. The presence of the Tamarack Swamp and various runs, such as Brandy Run and Whitney Run, highlights the well-watered valleys that supported generations of Pennsylvania farmers and lumbermen.
