About this map

The town of Longton serves as the focal point of this Elk County landscape, where the Elk River and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Painterhood Creek and Hitchen Creek, which cut through the uplands of the Painterhood and Oak Valley regions. A notable historical marker on the map is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which bisects the northern sections of the survey.

Energy production and civic life are evident through the presence of the Longton Oil and Gas Field and scattered Oil Wells, alongside local landmarks like Ohio Townhall. Smaller settlements and gathering places such as Busby, the Longton Cem, and Busby Cem provide essential data points for those researching family history in the area during the mid-20th century. The land use is further characterized by resource extraction, including several Quarry sites located near the creek bluffs.
