About this map

Pleasantville serves as the central hub of this northern Pennsylvania landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes in the heart of Venango County's oil-producing territory. The region is characterized by a legacy of early energy extraction, evidenced by the large footprints of the Pleasantville Oil Field and the Shamburg Oil Field. These industrial sites are interspersed with several small communities and family-named intersections such as Jerusalem Corners, Morrison Corners, and Rumbaugh Corners.

Downstream along the winding path of Pithole Creek lies the site of Pithole City, a name synonymous with the mid-19th-century oil boom. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of numerous burial grounds and spiritual centers, including Jerusalem Corners Cemetery, Concord Cemetery, and the Asbury Chapel and its associated cemetery. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with West Pithole Creek, Neilltown Creek, and Stewart Run defining the local drainage patterns.
