About this map

The Allegheny River carves deep, dramatic meanders through this portion of Venango County, defining the geography for settlements like Kennerdell and Brandon. This 2019 survey captures the area's transition from early industrial roots to contemporary conservation, evidenced by the Allegheny Wild and Scenic River designation and the presence of the N Country National Scenic Trail winding across the topography.

Genealogists can locate numerous burial sites tucked into the hills, including Shaffer Cem, Graham Cem, and Pine Hill Cem. Significant landmarks such as Indian God Rock and Whitherup Island highlight the river's historical importance, while the northern section of the map is anchored by the Venango Regional Airport near Bully Hill. The landscape remains etched with the legacy of extractive industry, particularly around Coal City, even as modern recreation and scenic preservation become the dominant land use.
