About this map

Allegheny National Forest dominates this section of the Pennsylvania highlands, where the 1967 landscape is defined by the extraction of natural resources and public recreation. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts through the western edge of the map, serving the community of Marienville. To the east, the terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of waterways including the Muddy Fork and Millstone Creek.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is scattered throughout the forest, from a Pumping Sta and numerous gas wells to a Quarry and Gravel Pit. Small settlements and points of interest like Lamonaville, the North Forest Cem, and Buzzard Swamp provide specific landmarks for genealogical and historical research. Recreational development is prominent at the Loleta Recreation Area and Kelly Pines Recreation Area, reflecting the mid-century expansion of the national forest for public use.
