1963 Map of Polk
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Polk lies at the intersection of industry and rural Pennsylvania life, where the Conrail line follows the winding course of Sandy Creek. The landscape is a complex network of resource extraction and conservation, with numerous Oil Wells and a Strip Mine peppered across the hillsides, often in close proximity to the vast State Game Lands No 39 and Kittanning State Forest. The map documents the smaller hamlets and rural crossroads of the early 1960s, such as Raymilton, Henderson Station, and Five Points. Genealogy researchers can find several rural burials and houses of worship, including the Old Sandy Cem, Gadsby Cem, and Mt Pleasant Ch. From the Seneca Hills Bible Conference near the creek to the scattered Spring labels and specialized landmarks like the Landing Strip, the sheet preserves a detailed view of mid-century Venango County.
