2019 Map of Knox

About this map

The Clarion River snakes through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving deep bends like the one at Turnip Hole and passing historical industrial sites such as Stovers Mill. Centered on the borough of Knox, the area is a patchwork of ridge-top settlements and crossroads including Wentlings Corners, Monroe, and Turkey City. The map reveals a high density of religious and commemorative sites for a rural district, ranging from the Saint Mark's United Church of Christ Cem to the Mount Zion Lutheran Church Cem in the southeast. This geography reflects a history of decentralized community life, where small clusters of homes and churches like Jefferson and Elk City anchored the surrounding townships. Legacy industrial markers, such as Canoe Furnace near the Canoe Cr drainage, point to the region's productive past along the river's rugged tributaries.
