About this map

Urbana serves as the primary hub of this landscape, its western edge defined by the Erie Lackawanna and Pennsylvania railroad corridors. The map records a complex of water features northeast of the city center, including First Price Pond, Second Price Pond, and Third Price Pond, likely tied to the area's early industrial or recreational history. Significant land use is dedicated to civic and community life, from the Hospital and Fairgrounds in the urban core to the expansive Oakdale Cemetery.

Moving eastward, the terrain transitions into the agricultural expanse of Union and Moorefield townships. Small settlements like Mutual and Catawba Station are documented alongside numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Winn Cem and Pisgah Cem. Ancient history is also noted on the landscape via an Indian Mound near the northern boundary, while modern leisure is represented by the Country Club and nearby Golf Course.
