About this map

Sheakleyville and Hadley anchor this western Pennsylvania landscape, where the waters of the Little Shenango River and Sandy Creek cut through the terrain. The creation of the Pine Run Dam formed the expansive Lake Wilhelm, which dominates the eastern portion of the map and significantly altered the local geography. This 2010 survey shows the area's transition into a recreational and residential corridor, evidenced by Camp Wilhelm and the Marina Boat Launch on the lake's shores.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Long Cemetery, Peterson Cemetery, and Caldwell Cemetery. Small crossroads settlements like Clarks Mills, Sunol, and Five Points reflect the enduring rural layout of Mercer County, while the presence of the Fletcher Airport and several dams indicates a modern layer of infrastructure laid over the historical agricultural grid.
