About this map

The Oil Field and numerous gas wells define this portion of Clarion County in the early 1960s, showing a landscape shaped by persistent resource extraction. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor links the borough of Knox with surrounding rural crossroads like Wentlings Corners and Blairs Corners. To the south, the Clarion River snakes through the terrain in dramatic meanders, notably at Turnip Hole, where it forms the boundary between Licking and Perry townships.

Genealogists can find numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Providence Ch, Zion Hill, and the Luke Cem. Evidence of the area's industrial history is visible at Canoe Furnace and various Strip Mines, while the southern border features the riverside settlement of Callensburg and the former site of Stovers Mill. This survey captures the transition toward modern infrastructure with the addition of Interchange 7 and a highway rest area near Canoe Creek.
