About this map

Conewango Creek defines the eastern geography of this borderland region, winding south through the hills of northern Pennsylvania toward the industrial and medical facilities of North Warren. The landscape is notably dominated by the extensive grounds of the Warren State Hospital and its associated Warren State Hospital Farm Colony, illustrating the mid-century model of large-scale institutional self-sufficiency.

Upland from the valley, the terrain is a network of named heights like Swede Hill and Yankee Bush Hill, interspersed with small settlement clusters such as Marshtown Corners and Putnamville. Transportation is anchored by the Penn Central rail line tracing the creek, while the presence of a localized Oil Field and the Conewango Country Club highlights the varied economic and social character of the county as it appeared following the 1971 photorevisions.
