About this map

The Allegheny National Forest dominates this 1967 survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial extraction and recreational development. A dense network of gas wells and pipelines cuts through the timbered drainages of Millstone Creek and Lick Run, showing the footprint of energy production in Forest and Elk Counties. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor serves the primary settlement at Marienville, passing a water tank and a nearby gravel pit that speak to the infrastructure of the era.

Local history is preserved in the smaller hamlets of McCrays and Lamonaville, along with the North Forest Cem situated north of the main village. The transition toward public recreation is evident in the established boundaries of the Loleta Recreation Area and Buzzard Swamp, where the terrain begins to shift from industrial utility to a managed natural resource. Tracing the numerous runs, such as Sugarcamp Run and Wyncoop Run, reveals the intricate drainage patterns that historically dictated the placement of early mountain roads and pumping stations.
