1949 Map of Kinzua

About this map

The Cornplanter Indian Reservation occupies a significant stretch along the eastern bank of the Allegheny River, providing a look at this indigenous landscape before mid-century hydraulic projects altered the valley. This 1949 revision captures the riverside settlements of Kinzua and Corydon at their height, connected by a network of winding valley roads and the State Road. The terrain is defined by deep drainages like Kinzua Creek and Chappel Fork, where small clusters like Westline and Dimmick Corners mark the intersections of rural life.
