About this map

Bradford and its surrounding valleys serve as the focal point of this Pennsylvania-New York border study, where the West Branch Tununguant Creek and East Branch Tununguant Creek converge. The landscape is defined by its industrial history, prominently featuring the Bradford Oil Field and a series of critical water resources such as Bradford City Number Two Reservoir and Bradford City Number Five Reservoir. These reservoirs, secured by dams like the Bradford City Number Two Dam, reflect the infrastructure required to support the city's growth and operations.

Residential and academic expansion is evident at the University of Pittsburgh - Bradford Campus, including the McKean Residence Halls. Smaller settlements like Custer City, Degolia, and Hazelton Mills dot the drainage ways, while the Buffalo & Pittsburgh RR provides the primary rail corridor through the valley floor. High points such as Blacksnake Mountain and the Beacon Hill Lookout Tower overlook a terrain carved into numerous named hollows, including Gates Hollow and Niles Hollow.
