About this map

The Allegheny River valley forms the central axis of this 1943 survey, carving through a landscape defined by the Allegheny Indian Reservation and the burgeoning Allegheny State Park. The river corridor is a primary transit artery, paralleled by the Erie RR and dotted with small riverbank communities like Steamburg, Quaker Bridge, and Onoville. A distinctive industrial marker is found at Red House, where a chemical plant sits near the rail line.

Upland from the river, the township of Napoli and the surrounding heights are characterized by a dense network of district schoolhouses, such as the Pigeon Valley School and Seager Hill School, which point to a decentralized rural population. To the south, the park's terrain rises sharply to named summits like Mt Onondaga and Blacksnake Mtn, where a lone ranger station manages the forested heights of South Valley.
