About this map

The Allegheny Reservoir dominates this landscape on the border of Pennsylvania and New York, shown here just as the waters were rising following the completion of the Kinzua Dam. This experimental orthophotomap combines traditional topographic contours with aerial photography, capturing the flooded valley and the numerous inlets like Willow Bay, Sugar Bay, and Roper Hollow that reshaped the region.

Within the Allegheny National Forest, evidence of both recreation and industry is visible. Established sites such as Camp Olmsted and the Willow Bay Recreation Area stand alongside the region's older extractive economy, marked by clusters of Oil Wells and Gas Wells near Glade. Remote access points like the Hooks Brook Trail and North Country Trail wind through the hills, providing a detailed look at the transition from timber and oil production to a managed parkland.
