2019 Map of Eldred

About this map

The Allegheny River flows through the eastern reaches of this borderland, where the terrain of northern Pennsylvania meets the New York state line. The borough of Eldred serves as a local hub near the confluence of Knapp Creek and the river, anchored by landmarks like Saint Raphael Cem and Oak Hill Cem. To the west, the landscape is defined by deep incisions such as Windfall Hollow and Oil Valley, reflecting a history of natural resource extraction and rural settlement. The community of Duke Center sits along the Kansas Br, while Rixford occupies the high ground near Columbia Hill. This 2019 survey documents a complex network of hollows—including Beers Hollow and Moody Hollow—that have shaped the region's transport and genealogy for generations. The concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Lamphier Cem and Stulltown Cem, provides vital points of reference for tracing local lineage in this river valley landscape.
