About this map

Greenville serves as the primary hub in this portion of Mercer County, situated at the confluence where the Shenango River and the Little Shenango River meet. The landscape is a complex intersection of early industrial and transit routes, featuring the tracks of the Bessemer and Lake Erie, Pennsylvania R R, and the New York Central. Traces of the historic Erie Canal remain visible near Osgood, marking an older era of Pennsylvania transportation.

Beyond the rail corridors, the map documents small rural communities and family-named landmarks like Leechs Corners, Minnis Corner, and Furnace Corners. Notable local institutions include Camp Rowland, the North Salem Ch, and several burying grounds such as Stevenson Cem and Salem Cem. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Snyder Hill and Quarry Hill, providing a detailed look at the geographic character of the region during the late 1950s.
