About this map

The agricultural and rural landscape of Mercer and Lawrence Counties is defined by the winding course of Little Neshannock Creek and its tributaries during the late 1950s. Smaller communities like Charleston, Greenfield, and Hoagland dot the countryside, connected by early infrastructure such as the Bend Telephone Line and emerging utility corridors like the Pipeline near Indian Run. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural institutions, including the Zahniser Cem and Lebanon Cem, alongside community centers such as Unity Ch and the Reed Sch.

In the southern portion of the sheet, the northern edge of New Wilmington appears near a Sewage Disposal plant, while the broader terrain transitions into the valleys of Lackawannock Creek and Neshannock Creek. Landmark structures like the County Home in Cool Spring township provide insight into the social geography of the era. The presence of features like Hells Hollow and Beaver Run highlights the local drainage patterns that dictated the placement of farms and small settlements.
