About this map

Spring Creek and the surrounding township character define this late 1960s landscape, where the Penn Central railroad tracks follow the winding course of Brokenstraw Creek in the northeast. The map documents a rural Pennsylvania community anchored by local landmarks like the Spring Creek Sch, the Grange Hall, and several family and community burial grounds, including the Spring Creek Cem and East Branch Cem.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the petroleum-rich lands of Eldred, where numerous Oil Wells and a private Landing Strip point to the region's industrial and logistical infrastructure. The network of waterways, from Caldwell Creek to West Branch, shaped the early settlement patterns seen at West Spring Creek and Cobbs Corners. This survey preserves the exact locations of these rural intersections and small-scale operations before modern land use changes.
