1941 Map of Marienville

About this map

Marienville serves as the focal point for this 1930s landscape, situated at the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and local timber and forest routes. The terrain is defined by the deeply incised, meandering course of the Clarion River, which winds through the central portion of the survey. The region's development is marked by a network of rural schoolhouses and industrial sites, including Fitzgerald Sch, McAvoy Sch, and the Crawford Pump Sta. Local history is anchored by family and religious sites like the Cook Tomb and St Dominic Cem, while the recreational and conservation efforts of the era are visible at the Loleta Camp Ground and a prominent CCC Camp. This survey documents a transition from early industrial extraction toward forest management and conservation in the Pennsylvania wilds.
