About this map

Cook Forest State Park and its surrounding townships define this 1967 landscape where the Clarion River winds through the intersections of Forest, Clarion, and Jefferson counties. The village of Cooksburg serves as a central point, anchored by its namesake Cook Tomb and the nearby Cook Forest Cem. The map reveals a region transitioning from dense forest to active resource extraction, with numerous gas wells dotted across Hominy Ridge and near settlements like Kahletown and Hottelville.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the distribution of family-named landmarks such as McNaughton Hill, Hetrick Hill, and Fitzgerald Hill. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the established communities of Fisher and Blyson alongside State Game Lands No 74. The presence of St Dominics Ch and its accompanying St Dominics Cem in the southeast corner provides a focal point for researchers tracing mid-century parish records and family burials.
