About this map

The borough of Corsica and the adjacent village of Roseville serve as central points in this 2016 survey of the Clarion and Jefferson County line. This landscape is defined by the deeply etched drainage systems of Redbank Creek and Mill Cr, which dictate the placement of early settlements and road networks. To the south, the community of Baxter sits along the creek, while smaller hamlets like Holden, Sutton, and Harlan are positioned along upland ridges and secondary routes like Swineford Rd and Toadtown Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pine Grove Cem north of the main thoroughfares, while numerous named waterways such as Kyle Run, Welch Run, and Little Mill Cr provide geographical context for family property records. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, showing the density of farmsteads and rural residences that continue to follow the historic paths of Old State Rd and the Olean Trl.
