About this map

The Allegheny Reservoir dominates this landscape along the Pennsylvania-New York border, where the flooded valley of the Allegheny River has created a complex shoreline of deep coves and inlets. The topography is defined by numerous drainage systems that flow into the reservoir, including Cornplanter Run, Willow Creek, and Tracy Run. These waterways are flanked by significant hollows such as Schoolhouse Hollow and Bullis Hollow, reflecting the deeply dissected plateau of the region.

Modern land use focuses heavily on recreation and conservation within this forested corridor. The map identifies several established sites for outdoor access, such as Camp Olmsted, the Roper Hollow Boat Ramp, and the Webbs Ferry Recreation Area. For genealogists and local historians, the Riverview-Corydon Cemetery remains a significant landmark near the northern edge of the reservoir, serving as a silent witness to the communities that once occupied the valley before the completion of the Kinzua Dam project.
