2013 Map of Marienville West

About this map

Muzette Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark in this forested region of Forest County, overseeing a landscape defined by the winding drainages of Salmon Cr and Maple Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a network of small, established settlements like Vowinckel, North Pine Grove, and Marienville, connected by a rural road system that includes Guitonville Rd and Salmon Creek Rd. The distribution of these places, along with smaller locales such as Roses, Williams, and Gilfoyle, reflects the persistent settlement patterns of the Allegheny Plateau. Researchers can find numerous family-named landmarks and rural outposts, including the Greeley Farm and Bowmanville, set among the headwaters of Toms Run and Bearpen Run. The map provides a contemporary view of this transition between timberlands and small-town Pennsylvania life, documenting the specific locations of rural residences and local infrastructure.
