About this map

The lowlands of State Game Lands No 213 dominate the central landscape of this Crawford County survey, where the wide marshlands of Conneaut Outlet and Marsh Run provide a distinct natural boundary between townships. The 1968 fieldwork captures the region during a period of transition, noting the modern expansion of transportation near the Port Meadville Airport and the intersection of the Erie Lackawanna and Penn Central railroads.

Rural life is anchored by a network of crossroads settlements and family landmarks, from Custards and Geneva to the many country churches like Mumford Ch and Greenwood Ch. Cultural signatures of the era are visible in the Drive-in Theater near the Meadville fringe and numerous family burial grounds including Andrews Cem and Anderson Cem, offering a detailed view of the community's genealogy and early infrastructure before later developments altered the rural character.
