About this map

Townville and Guys Mills serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Crawford County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads connecting numerous named rural corners. This 2010 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey documents the enduring footprint of agricultural settlements such as New Richmond, Lyona, and Little Cooley. The geography is characterized by the branching paths of Woodcock Creek, Muddy Creek, and West Branch Sugar Creek, which navigate the terrain between family-named landmarks like Jewel Corners and Oregon Corners.

Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of historic burial grounds, including Smith Cemetery near the northern border and Union Cemetery to the south. The transition from established town centers to descriptive locales like Turkey Track Corners and Hatch Cemetery illustrates the settlement patterns of western Pennsylvania, where small-scale farming and local crossroads have long been the backbone of the community.
