2019 Map of Wattsburg

About this map

Wattsburg and the surrounding borderlands of Erie County, Pennsylvania, and Chautauqua County, New York, are defined by a complex drainage system feeding the French Creek watershed. The terrain is notably shaped by prehistoric glacial activity, evidenced by the cluster of Drumlins located near Macedonia RD. This 2019 survey documents the rural character of the region, where small historic settlements like Lowville and Little Hope persist alongside family-named landmarks. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, including the Old Miller Burial Ground and the Greenfield Cem. The hydrography of the area is particularly intricate, with the West Branch French Creek and its many tributaries, such as Townley Run, Alder Brook, and Bailey Brook, carving through the low hills and providing the primary geographical framework for local road networks like Wattsburg RD and Station RD.
