2019 Map of Blue Knob

About this map

Pavia and the surrounding high ground of the Allegheny Front define this 2019 survey, where steep ridges and deep hollows dictate the layout of small settlements. A unique point of local lore is the Lost Cox Children Monument, marking a specific historical event in these woods. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridges including Blue Knob, Schaefer Head, and Miller Mtn, while the drainage system of Bobs Cr and Beaverdam Cr cuts through the terrain. Numerous family and community burial sites are documented across the sheet, such as Mount Zion Cem and Upper Claar Cem. In the east, the small communities of Queen and Klahr sit at lower elevations, connected by roads that wind around the massive landforms of the Blue Knob massif and Ritchey Knob.
