About this map

Lake Canadohta serves as the central focal point for this section of the Crawford and Erie county line, where recreational waters meet the agricultural uplands of northwestern Pennsylvania. The village of Riceville sits in the southeast along Oil Creek, while other small crossroads settlements like Lincolnville, Tillotson, and Rootville anchor the surrounding rural landscape. This area is notably dense with small family and community burial sites, such as the Blakeslee Family Cem, Bloomfield Burying Ground, and Shreve Ridge Cem, which provide significant genealogical data for researchers of the region's early families.

The terrain is defined by a network of runs and creeks, including West Shreve Run, Britton Run, and East Branch Muddy Creek, which carve through ridges like Shreve Ridge and Dutch Hill. The map also illustrates the transition into the State Game Lands in the northern portion, showing how land use balances private settlement with protected natural areas. This detailed survey offers a clear view of the road networks, from established routes like Canadohta Lake Rd to the more remote rural lanes connecting isolated homesteads.
