1966 Map of Kelletteville

About this map

Kellettville and the winding course of Tionesta Creek dominate this mid-century portrait of Forest County's heartland. Much of the terrain lies within the Allegheny National Forest, where the landscape is marked by the legacy of resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the ridges. The 1960s survey captures the area as the Tionesta Reservoir backs up behind its dam, creating Newtown Flats and inundating the valley floor. Small upland settlements like Starr, Crystal Springs, and Queen appear alongside essential community landmarks such as Whig Hill Cemetery and Mt Zion Church. The transition from the old timber and rail era is visible in several stretches of Old Railroad Grade that follow the creek beds, now bypassed by more modern tracks and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches of Hickory Valley.
