About this map

Allegheny Reservoir dominates this landscape in the heart of the Allegheny National Forest, where the flooded valleys of the Allegheny River and Kinzua Creek converge. The mapping shows the area in a state of transition following the reservoir's creation, with recreational sites such as Kiasutha Recreational Area, Camp Cornplanter, and Dewdrop Campgrounds lining the new shoreline. The high ground remains defined by its industrial and surveillance history, evidenced by the Coal Knob Lookout Tower and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the ridges.

Local landmarks such as the Cornplanter Bridge and Red Bridge provide critical crossings over the winding water bodies, while the settlement at Kinzua Heights sits above the northern reaches. The presence of a small Cem near the confluence of Kettle Run and the creek, along with family-named features like Swede Hill, offers specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the early footprint of Warren and McKean Counties.
