About this map

The Allegheny River snakes through the heart of this landscape, forming a sharp oxbow that carves through the convergence of Clarion, Armstrong, and Butler counties. Along the western banks, the city of Parker sits as a primary hub, marked by its religious and civic foundations such as the Parker Presbyterian Cem and the Grand Army of the Republic Cem. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of valleys like Binker Valley and deep draws such as Crozier Hollow, where small settlements like Petrolia, Bruin, and Karns City are situated along the winding paths of Bear Creek and its branches.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the rural uplands, including the Allegheny Church Cem in the north and the Saints Peter and Paul Cem near Queenstown in the south. The eastern side of the river is defined by steep heights such as Columbia Hill and small landings like West Monterey, illustrating the river-oriented development of the region. The map also traces the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the hills overlooking the river valley.
