About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep valley through this timbered landscape, defining the boundaries of the Allegheny National Forest and local game lands. Along the river's path, distinctive river features like Stewards Island and Fuelhart Island appear alongside several eddies. The settlement pattern is largely defined by rural intersections and small villages such as Cobham, McKean Corners, and Izenbrown Corners.

Evidence of the region's extraction and transit history is visible in the scattered Oil Wells and Gas Wells, alongside an Abandoned Railroad and an Old Railroad Grade that follows the curves of Hickory Creek. Local landmarks like the Economite Cem and Plank Road Sch provide specific points of interest for genealogists, while the presence of the Sandstone Springs Picnic Ground and several recreation areas highlights the transition of the land from industrial use toward public forest management.
