2016 Map of Wattsburg

About this map

The West Branch French Creek carves a winding path through this corner of the Pennsylvania and New York borderlands, anchoring a landscape defined by glacial activity. The presence of Drumlins in the eastern section reveals the geological legacy of the region, while small crossroads communities like Lowville, Little Hope, and Hornby dot the rural interior. Near the southern edge of the sheet, Wattsburg sits at a strategic point near the confluence of the larger French Creek system. This 2016 survey documents the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of Erie and Chautauqua counties, preserved through local family-named landmarks and cemeteries such as the Greenfield Cem and West Mina Cem. The network of backroads, including Townley Run Rd and Phillipsville Colt Station Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads across a terrain drained by Alder Brook and Bailey Brook.
