About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep, serpentine path through the Venango County highlands, defining the character of this 2016 survey. Sharp river bends create prominent points of land occupied by settlements like Henrys Bend and Eagle Rock, where the narrow riparian flats provided room for early roads and river-access points. The mapping reveals a landscape shaped by these waterways, with numerous named drainages such as Pithole Creek, Hemlock Creek, and Stewart Run cutting through the timbered slopes to join the main channel.

Genealogists can find important local landmarks preserved in the data, including the McCrea Cem and Holeman Cem near the northern reaches of the river. Evidence of the region’s industrial and agricultural past persists in place names like Coal Hill, Hampton Station, and Oleopolis, reflecting a time when river transport and local resources dictated the locations of small communities and infrastructure.
