1959 Map of The Knobs

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The rugged high plateaus of Clearfield County are defined by vast forest tracts and a long history of resource extraction. This landscape is dominated by the Moshannon and Girard state forest areas, where elevations culminate at peaks like Old Round Top and Big Knob. The latter is home to the Knobs Lookout Tower, a critical point for fire observation in these dense woods. Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible in the numerous Gas Wells dotting the ridges and the Strip Mines and Reclaimed Strip Mines concentrated near The Knobs. The intricate network of headwater streams, including Mosquito Creek and Gifford Run, carves through the terrain, while historic routes like the Caledonia Pike and Frenchville Trail provide the primary access into these wooded game lands.
