About this map

The Allegheny River defines the western corridor of this map, winding past a series of river islands and named eddies. Settlements like Cobham and Magee are situated along the riverbanks, where the valley terrain meets the mouths of several tributary runs including Waid Run and Perry Magee Run. This river-oriented landscape transitions into the high, dissected plateaus of the Allegheny National Forest, marked by deep valleys such as Bully Hollow and Beers Hollow.

Inland, the map reveals a network of small upland communities and rural junctions, including Gillis, Harmonson Corners, and Bimber Corners. These locations, often established at the intersection of routes like Rte 337 and Economite Rd, reflect a long-standing pattern of forest-based commerce and remote settlement. Historic fire detection infrastructure is represented by the Wheeler Fire Tower near the eastern edge, while recreational and natural sites such as Sandstone Springs and the Long Hollow Picnic Area are found tucked away in the southern reaches.
