Lake Pleasant and its surrounding wetlands form the southern anchor of this Erie County landscape, where the headwaters of the E Br LeBoeuf Cr and Sixmile Cr define the drainage of the glacial terrain. The map reveals a high density of "corner" settlements, a traditional Pennsylvania pattern of rural development centered at road intersections. Places like Bogus Corners, Owens Corners, Weeds Corners, and Yaple Corners illustrate how local nomenclature often preserved family names and vernacular identities well into the 21st century.
