2010 Map of Port Allegany

About this map

Port Allegany serves as the focal point of this northern Pennsylvania landscape, situated where the Allegheny River winds through a series of narrow valleys and named hollows. The river's path is shadowed by significant local infrastructure, including the Allegheny Portage Creek and historical transit routes like Stagecoach Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the area is well-documented through its burial grounds, such as Saint Gabriels Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Lewis Hill Cemetery. To the north, the small settlement of Turtlepoint sits near the confluence of Annin Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle reflects the region's industrial character, dominated by the Colegrove Gas and Oil Field and specialized transport sites like Johnsons Private Airport. Numerous named geographical features like Steel Hollow and Bemis Hollow suggest a long history of family-named landholdings in the McKean County backcountry.
