1966 Map of Ludlow

About this map

The Allegheny National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the Pennsylvania oil and gas country, where the industrial landscape of the Oil Field meets deep wooded valleys. The community of Ludlow sits at the junction of Twomile Run and the Conrail line, serving as a focal point for the region's transport and resource extraction. Evidence of the area's timber and rail history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade winding through the hills near Wetmore. The terrain is defined by the sharp incisions of Tionesta Creek and its many tributaries, such as Pigeon Run and Bloody Run. Resource activity is pervasive throughout the township boundaries of Hamilton and Wetmore, indicated by the dense network of Gas Wells and infrastructure like the Radio Tower and Water Tank that dot the high ground around Gibbs Hill and Roystone.
