About this map

The borough of Corsica sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the border where Clarion Co meets Jefferson County. By the late 1960s, the region's economy was clearly defined by a mix of heavy extractive industry and traditional rural settlements. Extensive strip mining operations are visible across the terrain, notably south of Roseville and near the Airway Beacon, leaving a distinct mark on the topography.

In contrast to the industrial zones, the northern portion of the map is dominated by the wooded expanse of State Game Lands No 74, drained by Mill Creek and Little Mill Creek. Transportation networks are prominent, featuring the Conrail line running alongside Redbank Creek in the south, while the Lake Erie and Western Railroad (Trail) represents a repurposing of older transit corridors. Smaller communities like Baxter, Sutton, and Harlan anchor the agricultural and mining roads that spiderweb through the hills.
