1922 Map of Randolph

About this map

The Allegheny River carves through this 1922 landscape, anchoring a region defined by the Allegheny Indian Reservation and the early development of Allegheny State Park. The map documents a dense network of early 20th-century rural education, featuring numerous named institutions such as the Friends Indian School, Oldtown School, and Seager Hill School. Settlement patterns follow the river and rail corridors, with communities like Steamburg and Red House situated along the Erie RR. To the south, the Pennsylvania RR serves riverfront hamlets including Onoville and Elko PO. The terrain is marked by family-named peaks and hollows, from Johnny Watt Hill to Hotchkiss Hollow, illustrating how 19th-century landholdings shaped the local geography before the expansion of state-managed parklands.
