1969 Map of Youngsville

About this map

Youngsville and Irvine serve as the primary hubs on this Warren County map, where the winding Brokenstraw Creek meets the wide Allegheny River. The landscape is dominated by the steep ridges of Brokenstraw Mtn and the sprawling State Game Lands No 86, illustrating the intersection of industrial rail transport and vast conservation areas. Along the river, Thompsons Island and Crulls Island sit in the channel, while the Conrail line follows the northern bank of the creek through town. Local history details are preserved in the locations of the County Home and Hospital, St Lukes Ch, and several scattered Oil Wells, marking the region's long-standing connection to the petroleum industry. This 1969 field-checked survey includes later photogrammetric revisions that document the persistence of small settlements like Althom and recreational sites like the Buckaloons Recreation Area.
