About this map

McAlevys Fort sits at the junction of several mountain-fed waterways, anchoring a valley defined by the steep rises of Tussey Mountain and Broad Mountain. The 1963 survey reveals a landscape where conservation and academic research dominate the surrounding ridges, with The PA State Univ Exper Forest and Rothrock State Forest covering large tracts of the terrain. Local history is evident in the cluster of civic sites near the confluence of Standing Stone Creek, including the Jackson-Miller Sch and St Stephens Ch.

The map details several early conservation sites and protected wilderness, such as the Bear Meadows Natural Area and the Alan Seeger Natural Area. In the southeastern corner, Greenwood Furnace State Park preserves the footprint of the region's industrial heritage. Smaller settlements like Ennisville and the Seeger Place farmstead appear connected by a network of forest roads and historic paths like the Kepler Trail and Telephone Trail.
