1968 Map of Titusville South

About this map

Oil Creek winds through a landscape defined by the birth of the American petroleum industry, marking the transition from the mid-century industrial era to a protected heritage corridor. The map highlights Drake Well State Park, the site of the first successful commercial oil well, alongside a dense network of active and historic production sites including the Oil Field and numerous named industrial settlements like Petroleum Center, Miller Farm, and Columbia Farm. The rugged topography is etched with the remnants of specialized transport, from the Penn Central rail lines to an extensive old railroad grade following the creek's course.
