About this map

Wintergreen Gorge and the upper reaches of Le Boeuf Creek define the varied terrain of this Erie County landscape during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a transitional suburban and rural environment, where the Behrend Campus Pa State University sits near the growing Belleview Heights. Local community life is centered around institutions like St Boniface Sch & Cem, St Peters Ch, and the Township Sch in Hammett.

The survey captures specialized land uses of the era, from the recreational Kuhl Road Speedway and nearby Golf Course to the extensive conservation areas of State Game Lands No 218 and State Game Lands No 109. Small crossroads settlements like Owens Corners, Bogus Corners, and Weeds Corners dot the township divisions, connected by a network of family-named roads and the Penn Central rail line running near Sampson.
