About this map

Jeannette and its surrounding countryside in Adams County are defined by a complex network of bayous and a sprawling petroleum economy. The landscape is etched with the drainage patterns of Sandy Cr and Pellucid Bayou, which wind between numerous active extraction sites including the South Jeannette Oil Field and the Pretty Creek Oil Field. This reliance on local mineral wealth is anchored by the Leesdale Lookout Tower, a prominent landmark situated north of the Leesdale Tower Oil Field.

Evidence of established community life appears in several family and local burial grounds, such as Beach Cem, Holmes Cem, and Carter Cem, which are tucked away from the primary thoroughfares like Liberty Rd and Roxie Rd. The industrial character of the region is further underscored by the Natchez Coravel Pits in the northwest, contrasting with the many smaller waterways like Hoggatt Br and Dry Bayou that segment the wooded terrain.
