About this map

The Pennsylvania railroad corridor defines the rural layout of this southwest Chautauqua County landscape, connecting small farming hamlets and industrial sidings. The line runs north-to-south, linking North Clymer and Panama Sta through a region dominated by the drainage of Brokenstraw Creek and French Creek. The map documents a period of transitioning land use, where large tracts are designated as State Reforestation Area, reclaiming former agricultural fields back into woodland.

Local life is anchored by family-named crossroads and ecclesiastical landmarks like the Clymer Hill Ch near Clymer Hill. Smaller settlements such as Wait Corners, King Corners, and Wickwire Corners dot the upland plateaus, while lower elevations near Perkins Swamp and Alder Bottom Creek remain largely undeveloped. Significant local infrastructure is noted through numerous named thoroughfares like Brownell Road and Nazareth Road, which serviced the scattered farmsteads and Gravel Pits essential to the local economy.
