About this map

Aleppo and New Freeport serve as the primary hubs in this mid-1960s survey of southern Greene County. The landscape is defined by the winding waters of Fish Creek and the North Fork Dunkard Fork, where early infrastructure like the Smith Bridge and a Covered Bridge near Strawn are clearly marked. The map provides a detailed look at the rural social fabric of the era, pinpointing numerous small community anchors including Sugar Grove Ch, Pleasant Hill Ch, and the Aleppo Sch.

Resource extraction and local transit are evident through an extensive network of gas wells and the primitive Wagonroad winding through the hills. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named burial sites such as Staggers Cem, Schess Cem, and Evans Cem. The terrain ranges from the Mt Carmel Ridge down to the creek bottoms, illustrating the dispersed settlement patterns of small hamlets like Deep Valley and McCracken before modern developments altered these traditional Pennsylvania farm and forest lands.
