About this map

Waterford serves as a primary hub of settlement in this northern Pennsylvania landscape, situated near the western edge of LeBoeuf Lake. The town's grid of streets, including N High St and Chestnut St, transitions into a surrounding rural geography defined by the winding course of LeBoeuf Creek and the broader valley of French Creek. To the south, Mill Village anchors the lower portion of the map, while smaller locales like New Ireland and Valley Corners suggest the area's agricultural and ethnic history.

Hydrological features dominate the eastern and southern reaches, where Union City Lake and the South Branch French Creek converge. Genealogists can identify localized landmarks such as the Bonnell Cem in the north and family-named routes like Klemmer Rd and Eliason Rd. The map illustrates a complex network of brooks and runs, including Benson Run and Trout Run, which drain the varied elevations between Oak Hill and the bottomlands.
