About this map

Allegany serves as the focal point for this 1971 study, situated at the confluence where the West Fork Millicoma River and East Fork Millicoma River join to form the main stem of the Millicoma River. This river system, along with the South Fork Millicoma River and the Coos River, dictates the settlement pattern and transport routes through the heavily forested interior. Local infrastructure is concentrated along these waterways, featuring the Allegany Sch, a Cem, and the Landrith Bridge downstream.

The surrounding landscape is largely defined by the Elliott State Forest, where numerous named drainages like Hendrickson Creek and Bridges Creek carve into the terrain. Industrial activity is evidenced by the Kuhnert Quarry and various gaging stations, while recreation and natural landmarks are marked by Rooke and Higgins County Park, Henrus Falls, and Pidgeon Falls. High points such as Baldy Butte and McKeever Mtn overlook the winding river bars, including Caroline Bar Creek.
