1967 Map of Pleasantville

About this map

Oil fields and scattered pump jacks dominate this landscape in Venango County, where the legacy of Pennsylvania’s petroleum boom is written into the terrain. The map centers on Pleasantville, an incorporated borough surrounded by a network of rural crossroads and family settlements like Tyrrel Farm Corners and Lovell Corners. To the south, the legendary Pithole City appears during a period of transition, showing the remnants of what was once a chaotic boomtown along the banks of Pithole Creek.
