About this map

Oil City and its surrounding industrial and residential outskirts are defined by the convergence of Oil Creek and the Allegheny River in this 2016 topographical survey. The landscape retains clear evidence of its petroleum heritage, noted by several Oil Seeps and a Tank Farm situated near Rouseville. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and the winding path of the W & L E RR, which skirts the riverbanks near Siverly and Reno.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous burial sites across the hills, from Saint Josephs Cem in the city center to the more remote Lamey Cem and Shaw Farm Cem to the north. Distinct residential clusters such as Woodland Heights, Hasson Heights, and Colonial Village occupy the higher ground above the industrial riverfront. This map also tracks the smaller tributaries that carved the local terrain, including Cornplanter Run and Cherry Run, alongside landmarks like Alcorn Island and the Oil City High Sch.
