About this map

Sandy Lake and the borough of Stoneboro serve as the primary hubs in this western Pennsylvania landscape, where the waters of Sandy Creek and Sawmill Run intersect with the Penn Central railroad lines. The area is defined by a dense network of extraction and rural community life, featuring an expansive Oil Field and numerous Gas Wells to the south and east. Historic iron industry roots are visible at Reeds Furnace near the Venango County line.

Local genealogy and settlement patterns are preserved through several rural crossroads and landmarks, including Hendersonville, Perrine Corners, and Nesbit Corners. The spiritual and civic center of the area is represented by Rocky Springs Ch, Zion Ch, and the Lakeview Consolidated High Sch. Large swaths of the terrain are dedicated to conservation and natural features, most notably the State Game Lands No 130 and the ecologically distinct Pine Swamp.
