About this map

Sugar Lake serves as a central landmark in this portion of Crawford County, where the glacial history of the region is literally written into the landscape at the Dead-Ice Terminal Moraine. This geological feature dictates the local topography and drainage patterns for several waterways, including Lake Creek and Brawley Run. The area is characterized by a network of small, established communities such as Mount Hope and Black Ash, connected by rural routes like Guys Mill Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of specific data points here, as the map identifies numerous burial sites reflecting the area's early settlement. These include the Old Reformed Church Cem near Deckard, the Sugar Lake Cem, and the Peters Cem. The transition across the Crawford and Venango County line is clearly delineated, showing how the landscape shifts as one moves south toward Cooperstown.
