2013 Map of Oak Forest

About this map

Oak Forest and the surrounding rural landscape of Greene County are defined by a complex network of stream valleys and ridges in this 2013 survey. The settlement of Spraggs serves as a southern anchor, situated along the winding course of Smith Cr and Roberts Run. The terrain is deeply dissected, with prominent elevations such as Brant Hill and the long spine of Mooney Rdg separating numerous small watersheds. Waterways like Pursley Cr, Whiteley Cr, and Dyers Fork have dictated the placement of local roads, many of which follow the narrow valley floors. This map documents a traditional Appalachian landscape where small communities like Gump are connected by a web of backroads, including Orndorff Rd and White Barn Rd, tracing the legacy of family landholdings and early agricultural development in southwestern Pennsylvania.
