About this map

Allegheny National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, characterized by the dense drainage networks of the Tionesta Creek and Middle Hickory Creek watersheds. The settlement of Cherry Grove serves as the primary upland community, supported by the nearby Cherry Grove Cem and the distinct junction at Vandergriff Corner. Evidence of earlier industrial activity is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and Dunham Siding, alongside active Oil Wells that speak to the region's resource extraction history.

Public land management and conservation are central themes, with the Allegheny Fish Hatchery and the Hearts Content Recreation Area providing established points of interest. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and springs such as Hermit Spring and Rams Horn Spring, while the northern reaches include the southern edge of Chapman State Park. This survey captures a moment when timber, oil, and recreation converged in the high plateau country of Pennsylvania.
