1963 Map of Kennerdell

About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep, serpentine path through this section of Venango County, defining the local landscape and its industrial history. Along these steep banks, the community of Kennerdell sits near the Kennerdell Tunnel, a critical point on the Conrail line. The map reveals a region defined by natural resource extraction, with numerous oil wells scattered throughout the Cranberry and Rockland townships. Small settlements like Coal City and Smiths Corners are connected by narrow roads that wind around high points such as Bully Hill.
