About this map

The Allegheny River snakes through the northern reaches of the Allegheny National Forest, defining a landscape where industrial extraction and timberlands meet. This era in Warren County is marked by the extensive Glade Oil Field and numerous Gas Wells dotting the northern ridges above Warren. The Penn Central rail line follows the river's path, passing through islands like Harmon Island and Dixon Island before turning south to service the corridor of settlements along Dutchman Run.

Tracing the valley south, the map reveals a string of communities including Stoneham, Clarendon, and Tiona. The presence of several localized schools, such as Lincoln Sch and Washington Sch, alongside the Snyder Cem, provides a detailed record of the mid-century social geography of the Tionesta Creek drainage. The southern transition into the Sheffield township highlights a mix of industrial infrastructure, including Gravel Pits and a substantial Substation near the Big Bend of the river.
