About this map

The intersections of extraction and agriculture define this landscape in the early 1960s, specifically near Barkeyville at the junction of modern travel and historical settlement. This area is heavily marked by the Clinton Oil Field and numerous excavations, including several Strip Mines and a Quarry near the East Branch Wolf Creek. These industrial features sit adjacent to longstanding rural community centers like Wesley and Nectarine, where churches and schools served local families for generations.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of Mt Irwin Cem and Rocky Springs Cem, along with smaller landmarks like Peters Chapel and Amity Ch. The map also documents the transition to high-speed transit with the emergence of Interchange 3 and its associated Rest Area facilities, showing how the mid-century highway system began to overlay the older patterns of the Irwin and Clinton townships.
