2010 Map of Oil City

About this map

Oil City is defined by the significant confluence of Oil Creek and the Allegheny River, a landscape inextricably linked to the region's industrial heritage. The residential patterns show a series of distinct neighborhoods and suburban developments such as Hasson Heights, Colonial Village, and Woodland Heights, which cling to the high ground above the river valleys. Local family history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Saint Josephs and Calvary sites near the city center, and the more remote Lamey Cemetery to the northwest. Beyond the urban core, the map reveals a transition to rural crossroads and small settlements like Rouseville and Plumer, where the Plumer Fire Tower stands as a landmark of forest management. To the south, the landscape opens up around Seneca and the Darvassy Airport, illustrating the continued expansion of the community away from the traditional riverfront hubs.
