1941 Map of Marienville

About this map

The winding Clarion River snakes through the heart of this mid-century Pennsylvania landscape, defining the borders between Forest, Clarion, and Jefferson counties. In the north, Marienville serves as a central hub, connected by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and surrounded by the Allegheny National Forest. The map documents a rural infrastructure of small-scale industry and community life, featuring numerous one-room schools such as McAvoy Sch and Woolford Sch. Civil Conservation Corps activity is evident at the CCC Camp near Roses, while the oil and gas industry of the era is represented by the Crawford Pump Sta. Significant recreational and forestry landmarks, including the Loleta Camp Ground and the Muzette Fire Tower, highlight the region's managed wilderness character during the pre-war years.
