1967 Map of Sugar Lake

About this map

Sugar Lake serves as a central landmark in this 1967 survey of the rural borderlands between Crawford and Venango Counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Sugar Creek system, including Little Sugar Creek and Beatty Run, which carve through the plateau. Small agrarian communities like Black Ash, Mt Hope, and East Wayne are connected by a network of local roads such as Maple Hill Road. The area exhibits a strong tradition of local institutions, evidenced by numerous country churches and burial grounds like St Johns Ch and the adjacent St Johns Cem.
