About this map

Greenville serves as the primary hub on this mid-century Pennsylvania survey, situated at the confluence of the Shenango River and the Little Shenango River. The landscape is a patchwork of small agricultural intersections and family-named corners such as Minnis Corner, Leechs Corners, and Furnace Corners. This era reveals a robust transportation network with the Bessemer and Lake Erie, Erie Lackawanna, and Penn Central railroads all converging near KO Junction and Osgood. These rail lines follow the natural corridors of the Crooked Creek and river valleys, supporting local industries like the Gravel Pit and proximity to the Water Works.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the inclusion of the Township Sch, North Salem Ch, and several rural burial grounds like Stevenson Cem and Freeland Cem. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as Snyder Hill, Wheeler Hill, and Quarry Hill, which dictate the winding paths of the numerous creeks, including Otter Creek and Sandy Creek, that drain the surrounding townships of Salem and Hempfield.
