2019 Map of Oak Forest

About this map

The ridge-and-valley topography of Greene County is on display in this modern survey, defined by the winding course of Smith Cr and its many tributaries. The area maintains a rural, dispersed settlement pattern centered on small communities like Oak Forest and Spraggs. Genealogical interest is particularly high here, as the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including the White Church Cem - Old and White Church Cem - New sites near White Church. Historic transit corridors remain visible through the modern landscape, most notably the Warrior Trail and the Warrior/Catawba Trail, which follow the high ground above drainages like Whiteley Cr and Rudolph Run. The naming of local features like Brant Hill and Dark Hollow reflects a long history of local land use and family ownership in this corner of Pennsylvania.
