About this map

Wintergreen Gorge and its surrounding woodlands dominate the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the campus of Penn State Erie (Behrend) meets the steep ravines carved by local tributaries. Moving southeast, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural crossroads and agricultural land, anchored by small settlements like Hammett and Phillipsville. The area is notably dense with commemorative sites, ranging from the Old Butler Burial Ground near the southern border to several denominational cemeteries like Saint Boniface Cem and the Saint Pauls Evangelical Church Cem.

Waterways define the movement across the quadrangle, with Sixmile Creek and Fourmile Creek flowing toward Lake Erie, while the East Branch LeBoeuf Creek drains the southern valley near Lake Pleasant. The settlement pattern follows historical road junctions at places like Bogus Corners and Weeds Corners, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure that persists alongside modern academic expansion.
