About this map

Tionesta Creek carves a deep, winding path through this portion of the Allegheny National Forest, where the landscape is defined by its industrial and ecclesiastical history. Small settlements and rural hubs like Kellettville and Endeavor anchor the region, connected by a network of drainage systems including Beaver Run, Wolf Run, and Queen Creek. The map documents a transition in transportation, showing an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier timber or resource extraction eras, now bypassed by local roads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, from the Whig Hill Cem and Whig Hill to numerous country churches like Zuendel Ch, Kiffer Hill Ch, and Mt Zion Ch. The presence of a Pumping Sta and various gas wells reflects the ongoing energy utility of the Forest County hills, while the controlled inundation area near Newtown Lake suggests the impact of water management on the local geography.
