1963 Map of Barkeyville

About this map

Extensive oil fields and deep-cut creek valleys define the landscape of southern Venango County and its borders with Butler and Mercer. The map captures the industrial and agricultural rhythm of the early 1960s, with updates reflecting the arrival of major infrastructure like Interchange 3. Settled pockets such as Barkeyville and Clintonville serve as local hubs, while smaller crossroads like Nectarine and Wesley are marked by family-named churches and community landmarks including Amity Ch and Peters Chapel.
