About this map

The Knobs Fire Tower stands as a prominent sentinel atop The Knobs, overlooking a high-plateau landscape defined by deep stream drainage and forest infrastructure. This 2010 topographic survey reveals a terrain carved by Mosquito Creek and Gifford Run, where water management is evident at McNerney Dam and Gifford Dam. The area is characterized by significant topographic features such as Old Round Top, Chestnut Ridge, and Big Knob.

Historically used for resource management and fire lookout, the region is interlaced with a network of forestry and service roads, including the Caledonia Pike and Munn Rd. The presence of the Duck Marshes in the northern reach suggests a landscape of varied hydrologic environments, while the density of named runs like Stump Lick Run and Little Trout Run indicates a complex watershed in this portion of Clearfield County.
