About this map

French Creek carves a central path through this Venango County landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and rural homesteads. The borough of Utica sits along the creek’s bend, while the village of Polk occupies the southern reaches near Little Sandy Creek. The area’s geography is defined by a series of significant runs and creeks, including Sugar Creek, Warden Run, and Foster Run, which drain the surrounding highlands into the larger waterways.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds, such as Oakwood Cem, Millcreek Cem, and Forest Chapel Cem, which offer physical links to the families of Hannasville, Wyattville, and Cooperstown. Infrastructure like The Farm Airport and a grid of rural roads, including Franklin Pike and Old Rte 322, reflect the long-standing transportation patterns connecting these rural Pennsylvania communities. The map also captures smaller clusters like Canal Center, Takitezy, and Nicklin, providing a detailed look at the scattered settlement pattern of the region.
