1963 Map of Knox

About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes intersect in this portion of Clarion County, where the Oil Field and numerous pipelines dominate the northern terrain near Knox. The survey captures a network of small crossroads communities such as Wentlings Corners and Blairs Corners, alongside remnants of earlier iron production at Canoe Furnace. The southern half of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Clarion River, featuring distinctive river bends like the Turnip Hole and crossing points such as Canoe Ripple. Local spiritual life is well-documented through several country churches, including St Marks Ch and Providence Ch. The presence of Strip Mines and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor highlights the region's reliance on extractive industries and heavy transport during the early 1960s.
