1968 Map of Pittsfield

About this map

Brokenstraw Creek and Little Brokenstraw Creek converge near Pittsfield, anchoring a valley defined by the Penn Central rail line and a series of rural hamlets. This 1968 survey, updated in the mid-1970s, documents the industrial and civic landscape of western Warren County, from the County Fairground north of Pittsfield to the smaller settlements of Garland and Torpedo. The hillsides are largely dominated by State Game Lands No 143, yet the valley floors show active extraction and utility networks, including numerous oil wells, a Quarry, and a high-voltage pipeline. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of Whitestown Cem, Riverside Cem, and the Community Church near Torpedo. The map also preserves the route of an old railroad grade, illustrating the evolution of transportation through these wooded corridors.
