About this map

The industrial and civic heart of the Allegheny National Forest centers on Kane during the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates a town built on timber and mineral resources, characterized by a dense concentration of local institutions including the St Callistus Sch, the High Sch, and multiple neighborhood campuses like Clay Street Sch. The map reveals the community's social fabric through features like the Mountain Grange, the Free Methodist Church Camp, and a Drive-in Theater on the eastern edge of town.

Beyond the residential core, the landscape is defined by its extraction history. Extensive Oil Wells pepper the surrounding ridges and valleys, while a Coal Mine near Wetmore and several scattered Quarry sites speak to the region's diverse geology. The topography is deeply dissected by the South Branch Kinzua Creek and Wilson Run, creating a geography where transport follows narrow corridors, such as the Baltimore and Ohio rail line and an Old Railroad Grade tracing the valley floors.
