About this map

The Little Shenango River and Sandy Creek define the geography of this western Pennsylvania landscape at the start of the 1960s. The region is characterized by a mix of agricultural valley floors and wooded upland terrain, with the Penn Central rail line cutting through the community of Hadley. Significant local infrastructure is visible in the form of multiple oil wells and a gas well near Perry, alongside a large pipeline that traverses the southern hills.

Genealogists will find considerable value in the detailed locations of rural institutions, including the Sheakleyville Cem, Peterson Cem, and Maple Grove Ch. The settlement pattern follows older turnpike and river routes, connecting established villages like Sheakleyville and Clarks Mills with smaller crossroads such as McQuiston Corners. Revisions from 1970 illustrate the expansion of water features, specifically the inundation of Wilhelm Creek creating Sandy Lake.
