About this map

The Allegheny River and Clarion River define the north and south bounds of this landscape, which spans the border of Forest, Venango, and Clarion counties. A dense network of rural one-room schoolhouses, such as Rattlesnake School and Love School, marks the township structure in the early 1920s. In the north, the Allegheny National Forest and a State Game Preserve occupy the wooded highlands between Tionesta Creek and Coon Creek.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the rail connections through Shippenville, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Pennsylvania RR intersect. The map also identifies historic rural industry at Helen Furnace and small communities like Fryburg and Lucinda. This document preserves the exact placement of local landmarks before mid-century modernization, from the Paint Mills School to the distinct bends of Tionesta Creek near Nebraska.
