About this map

East Sandy Creek and its many tributaries, including Shaw Run and Pine Run, carve through this section of the Allegheny plateau southeast of Oil City. The landscape is defined by small, dispersed rural settlements and crossroads that have persisted through generations, such as Cranberry, Nickleville, and Barrs Corners. The terrain is significantly marked by the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds across the central drainage basins, passing near historic corridors like Slab Furnace.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local data in the numerous family and community burial grounds, from Saint Catherines Cem near Twin Oaks to the more secluded Farren Cem and Bickle Cem near Pittsville. The presence of Eakin Airport and Sunset Hill Memorial Park near Seneca indicates modern development concentrated along the northern transport routes, while the southern reaches near the Venango and Clarion County line remain largely defined by creek valleys and wooded hillsides.
