1969 Map of Oswayo

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Oswayo and the surrounding Potter County landscape are defined by a network of deep hollows and the energy industry during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a region transitioning from its rail-dependent past to an economy centered on the Oswayo Oil and Gas Field, with numerous gas wells and pipelines spidering across the timbered terrain. The former path of the railroad is visible as the Oswayo Creek Grade, following the water through Millport and Coneville. Local social and civic life is anchored by features like the County Fairgrounds near Millport and the Rathbone Cem. To the south, the preservation of the landscape is noted by the expanse of State Game Lands No 204, while small settlements such as Kibbeville and Chrystal remain tucked into the narrow valleys carved by Elevenmile Creek and its tributaries.
