About this map

New Freeport and the surrounding townships of Rich Hill, Aleppo, and Springhill are characterized by a dense network of valley settlements and upland ridges in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by the winding courses of the South Fork Dunkard Creek and the Pennsylvania Fork Fish Creek, along which small communities like McCracken and Deep Valley developed.

Evidence of local social infrastructure is prevalent, with several rural houses of worship including Schess Gem Ch and Long Run Ch, as well as the Aleppo Sch. The presence of numerous gas and oil wells, along with two distinct Compressor Stations near Fish Creek, underscores the region's reliance on subterranean resource extraction. Extensive public land is also noted at the State Game Lands No 179 in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
