About this map

Chestnut Ridge dominates this Pennsylvania landscape, creating a dramatic physical divide between the industrial valley settlements and the high timberlands of Forbes State Forest. Traces of the region's early iron heritage remain visible at Oliphant Furnace and Wharton Furnace, while the transportation corridor of the National Road and the Penn Central tracks facilitate movement across the terrain.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate numerous burial grounds, including the Little White Rock Cem and Brown Cem, alongside community landmarks like South Union Sch. The map also details the water infrastructure of the era, showcasing the tiered Hutchinson Reservoir No 1, Hutchinson Reservoir No 2, and Hutchinson Reservoir No 3, which supported the surrounding townships of North Union and South Union.
