1969 Map of Smethport
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Smethport serves as the hub of this McKean County landscape, where the confluence of Marvin Creek and Potato Creek shaped the early valley floor. By the late 1960s, the borough remained a center of local activity, featuring the High Sch and the County Fairgrounds just east of town. The surrounding hills are marked by numerous oil wells, particularly within the Sartwell Oil Field to the northeast, reflecting the region's long-standing petroleum industry. Transportation is defined by the Penn Central rail lines following the watercourses through Farmers Valley and past the Sewage Disposal plant. Topographical landmarks like The Nipple and Prospect Hill rise above the many hollows—such as Gifford Hollow and Irish Hollow—that segment the terrain. Genealogists will find the locations of Smith Hill Cem and St Elizabeths Cem useful for local family research.
