1963 Map of Eau Claire

About this map

The Allegheny River carves a sharp oxbow near Rockland and Wood Hill, anchoring a landscape defined by its extractive industry and rural hamlets in the early 1960s. Extensive Oil Field operations and numerous Strip Mines are distributed across the high ground between the river and Scrubgrass Creek. This survey details several family-named crossroads and small settlements such as Kohlmeyer Corner, Eakin Corner, and Humphreys Corner, reflecting the region's dense genealogical history. Landmark structures like the Anderson Stone House and the Radio Tower near Six Points provide distinct navigational points. Cultural life is anchored by local congregations at Rankin Chapel, Scrubgrass Church, and East Unity Church, while the historic industrial footprint is preserved through labels for Sutton Mill and Sedwicks Mill.
