2016 Map of Knowles

About this map

Knowles occupies the northern plains of Beaver County, situated along Route 64 in an area defined by wide drainage basins and a structured grid of rural roads. The landscape is dominated by the Beaver River corridor which traverses the southern portion of the map, creating a broad wetland and riparian zone that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural tablelands. Local hydrology is further defined by ephemeral streams like Kidds Cr, Mexico Cr, and the W Fork Horse Cr. Significant land use features include the Barby Number 18 Reservoir and Barby Number 5 Reservoir, indicating the vital role of water management in this High Plains environment. The township is networked by a dense system of section-line roads, many designated as hollows, including Hollow N1590 and Hollow E0100, which provide access across the undulating terrain between the river valley and the northern upland prairie.
