Title
A name given to the resource
Bridge at Oil City, PA
Description
An account of the resource
At the mouth of Oil Creeks, spectators watch rafts that have made it downstream after a so-called "pond fresh." The creek was too shallow for navigation much of the year, so dams held water then released it all at once--a chaotic process that often resulted in capsized rafts, and perhaps 20,000 barrels of oil transported to the Oil City port.
