About this map

Kellettville and the winding course of Tionesta Creek anchor this survey of Forest County's heartland within the Allegheny National Forest. The landscape is defined by deep valleys and the remnants of early 20th-century transport, notably the Old Railroad Grade that skirts the hills near Crystal Springs. Small settlements and high-ground clearings like Whig Hill and Yellow Hammer reflect the region's scattered upland history, often centered around family or community burial grounds such as Whig Hill Cem and Kiffer Hill Cem.

Genealogical interest is high in the southwest near the hamlet of Starr, where both the Starr Cem and Mount Zion Lutheran Cem are preserved. The map documents a modern recreational layer superimposed over this older footprint, showing the N Country National Scenic Trail and various snowmobile corridors intersecting with historic routes like German Hill Rd and Hickory Run Rd. The naming of features such as Lamentation Run, Fools Knob, and Town Hollow provides local flavor to the complex drainage system feeding into the Tionesta.
