2010 Map of Barkeyville

About this map

Barkeyville serves as a central point in this rural landscape, situated where local roads converge in southern Venango County. The area is characterized by several small, established settlements such as Wesley, Nectarine, and Bullion, reflecting the traditional township development of western Pennsylvania. Genealogical interest is anchored by Mount Irwin Cemetery and Pleasantview Cemetery, while the presence of Gillmans Mill on a tributary of Scrubgrass Creek suggests a history of small-scale water-powered industry. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including North Branch Slippery Rock Creek and Blacks Creek, which carve through the countryside. Much of the northern territory is occupied by the protected acreage of Game Land 39, preserving the natural character of the hills between the scattered hamlets and family-named routes like Barkey Hoffman Rd.
