About this map

Tunungwant Creek and its various branches, including the West Branch Tunungwant Creek, carve through the mountainous terrain of the Allegheny National Forest just south of the New York Pennsylvania state line. This landscape is defined by its deep hollows, such as Hedgehog Hollow, Gates Hollow, and Niles Hollow, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure and historic settlements. The city of Bradford sits at the confluence of several waterways, serving as the primary hub for the region.

Local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds and religious sites scattered across the hillsides, from the Tefares Israel Congregation and Cem to Saint Bernards Cem. Industrial and civic growth is visible in the network of reservoirs, including Number One Reservoir and Reservoir Number Five, which underscore the importance of water management for the valley's residents. Further south, smaller communities like Custer City and Hazelton Mills flank the primary routes through the forest.
