About this map

Union City serves as the industrial and transportation hub of this late-1960s landscape, positioned where the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads intersect. The town's infrastructure is clearly delineated, including the High Sch, Memorial Hospital, and a Sewage Disposal plant near the rail yards. Surrounding the urban center, the terrain is defined by the winding course of French Creek and its South Branch, which feed into the Union City Reservoir.

Smaller outlying settlements and landmarks reflect the rural character of Erie County, such as Arbuckle and Elgin. Genealogists may find value in the location of several country houses of worship, including Union-Amity Ch and Wayne Valley Ch, alongside the Evergreen Cem. The map also captures significant tracts of managed woodland, notably State Game Lands No 102, and several active Gravel Pits that suggest the local extractive economy of the era.
