About this map

The Oswayo Oil and Gas Field dominates the northern uplands of this Potter County landscape, where numerous wells and pipelines weave through the complex drainage of the Sharon and Oswayo areas. The topography is defined by deep, named hollows such as Turkeypath Hollow and Dwight Hollow that feed into the valley of Oswayo Creek. This valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transportation, hosting the villages of Millport, Coneville, and Oswayo.

Industrial and community history is visible along the valley floor, where the Old Oswayo Railroad Grade runs parallel to active sections of the Oswayo Railroad. Local landmarks like the County Fairgrounds near Millport and the Fish Hatchery to the east highlight the regional importance of this river corridor. Further south, the map details the expansive State Game Lands No 204 and agricultural settlements like Hebron Center, providing a clear view of the area's mid-century transition between resource extraction and public land management.
