1967 Map of Fryburg

About this map

The extraction economy of northwestern Pennsylvania is the defining characteristic of this landscape, where hundreds of Oil and Gas Wells and several strip mines dot the countryside. The northern settlements of Fryburg, Venus, and Strobleton anchor the rural landscape, while Shippenville and the nearby Shippenville Station sit along the southern edge of the survey. The transport of these natural resources is evidenced by the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads that cross the southern terrain.
