1969 Map of Mt. Jewett

About this map

Mt Jewett serves as the central hub of this 1969 survey, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR network branches across the northern Pennsylvania highlands. The industrial landscape is defined by extensive energy extraction, with a dense concentration of Gas Wells and Oil Wells dotting the hillsides within the Allegheny National Forest and Elk State Forest. Small settlements such as Lantz Corners, Kanesholm, and Halsey are scattered along the highway corridors and rail lines, reflecting the region's reliance on transit and natural resources. Historical landmarks of local importance include Nebo Ch and St Josephs Ch near the main town, while the southern reach of the map follows the course of the Clarion River toward the settlement of Burning Well. The mapping captures a specific moment of rural industrialization, where pipelines and jeep trails intersect with old mountain runs like Kinzua Creek.
