1963 Map of Kennerdell

About this map

The Allegheny River carves a dramatic series of horseshoe bends through Venango County, defining the industrial and topographical character of this mid-century survey. At the southern oxbow, the village of Kennerdell sits along the Penn Central tracks, where the Kennerdell Tunnel pierces the ridge to shorten the rail route through the steep river valley. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's energy history, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the hills and a Strip Mine near Bullion.
