About this map

Greece City and Hooker anchor the northern landscape of this Butler County region, where the industrial and natural worlds meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Connoquenessing Creek and the significant water bodies of Lake Oneida and Thorn Reservoir. Transportation and extraction history are prominent, with the Bessemer and Lake Erie railroad corridor cutting through the hills alongside numerous oil wells and a strip mine.

Community life is centered around local institutions like the Township Sch, Concord Ch, and North Butler Ch Cem. Further south, the settlement of East Butler borders the expanse of State Game Lands No 164. This 1960s-era survey, updated in the 1970s, captures the late-stage fossil fuel and rail infrastructure that long supported these rural townships, including smaller hamlets like North Oakland and St Joe.
