About this map

Allegany State Park dominates the western half of this landscape, characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges such as Mount Irvine and Stoddard Hollow. The park is carved by numerous waterways including Red House Brook and Beehunter Creek, with Red House Lake serving as a central landmark accessible via ASP Rte 1. To the east, the Allegheny River and Tunuangwant Creek valleys define the settlement patterns, where transport corridors like Old US Rte 219 connect the village of Limestone with northern hamlets.

The valley floor is marked by significant historical infrastructure, including the Riverside Junction and Bradford Junction, reflecting the area's rail and road heritage. Local history is anchored by the Limestone Cem and small communities like Irvine Mills and South Carrollton. These settlements are situated at the intersection of river transport and the timber-rich highlands, illustrating a long-standing relationship between the valley's industrial nodes and the protected forests of the state park system.
