About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Venango County, defining the local geography with its dramatic meanders. This landscape is characterized by river-oriented settlements and historical crossings, such as Kennerdell and Brandon. Along the river's edge, significant landmarks like Indian God Rock and Whitherup Island highlight the cultural and natural importance of the corridor. The northern reaches are more developed, featuring the Venango Regional Airport near the border of Franklin.

Tracing the hills above the river reveals a network of old roads and smaller communities including Coal City, Belmar, and Ajax. The presence of several family-named burial grounds, such as Shaffer Cem and Melat Cem, offers valuable points of interest for genealogists researching the area's early residents. Modern recreation is represented by the N Country National Scenic Trail, which follows the river's high ridges, while the Witherup Bridge provides a vital link across the water at the southern bend.
