About this map

The borderlands of New York and Pennsylvania define this landscape, where the rural settlements of Sugar Grove and Chandlers Valley serve as centers for a community shaped by stream valleys and upland ridges. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of small country churches and cemeteries, such as Peoples Ch and Cherry Hill Cem, which anchor the local history of the Sugar Grove and Farmington townships.

Economic life in the late 1960s is evidenced by the numerous oil wells scattered across the terrain, particularly near Kiantone Creek and Sugar Creek. The presence of a Pumping Station and a significant Pipeline corridor running through Brokenstraw and Pittsfield indicates the importance of regional energy infrastructure. The topography is further characterized by family-named heights like Lanning Hill and Brown Hill, interspersed with natural drainages like Stillwater Creek and Jackson Run.
