About this map

East Liberty and Middleburg anchor this topographical study of the upper Big Darby Creek watershed during the early 1960s. The landscape is a complex intersection of transportation history, showing the operational lines of the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads alongside the remnants of an Old Railroad Grade near Otter Creek. This period captures the rural character of the Logan and Union County border, defined by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Quaker Cem, Mt Mariah Cem, and Inskeep Cem.

Industry and local infrastructure are marked by a Quarry near East Liberty and various Sand and Gravel Pit operations surrounding Middleburg. Educational and aviation history are preserved through the location of the Zane Sch and the Blackburn Airport. The map also documents the sparse settlement at Lunda and Pottersburg, providing a detailed look at the agricultural and early industrial footprint before 1970s land-use revisions.
