About this map

Meadville serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1968 landscape, situated at the confluence of French Creek, Cussewago Creek, and Mill Run. The city's dense grid is characterized by essential mid-century infrastructure, from the Spencer Hospital and City Hospital to the County Fairgrounds. The Erie-Lackawanna railroad runs parallel to the river, supporting local industry represented by Industrial Waste Ponds and numerous Gas Wells scattered across Hayfield and West Mead.

Outside the city center, the terrain is dotted with small crossroads such as Onspaugh Corners and Blacks Corner. Notable social institutions like the Bethesda Home for Children and the Home for the Aged appear alongside recreational spaces including the Golf Course and Huidekoper Park. To the north, Saegertown and Grange Centre mark the extent of settlement along the valley, while Port Meadville Airport indicates the era's growing aviation presence in western Pennsylvania.
