About this map

Sugar Creek and its many winding tributaries, including the East Branch Sugar Creek and Little Sugar Cr, define the rural character of this northern Pennsylvania landscape. Small, scattered settlements like Dempseytown, Wallaceville, and Bradleytown are linked by a network of local roads that follow the rise and fall of the terrain, crossing the water at locations such as Boals Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can find two significant burial grounds documented: Maple Hill Cem in the northwest and Fairview Cem to the east. The map records the interface of Venango and Crawford counties, where agriculture and woodland predominate around crossroads such as Sunville and Luces Corners. The placement of these hamlets illustrates a classic regional settlement pattern, where community life centered on reliable water sources and established transit points like Cooperstown.
