About this map

Clarendon and its surrounding communities sit along the transition from the winding Allegheny River to the upland forests of the northern Allegheny plateau. This 2011 survey documents the complex infrastructure that defines the modern landscape, including the Kinzua Dam and the massive Seneca Pumped Storage Area perched above the river. The map details a string of settlements established along the valley corridors, from the distinct residential clusters of Clarendon Heights and Old Clarendon to the smaller hamlets of Weldbank, Stoneham, and Rogertown.

Water management and natural resources are central to this area's identity. The presence of the Allegheny National Fish Hatchery near Big Bend and numerous river features like Shipmans Eddy and Harmon Island reflect the river's ongoing importance. Further south, the terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Dutchman Run and Minister Creek, where local landmarks like Possum Hollow and Stone Hill break the heavily wooded hillsides.
