1962 Map of Red House

About this map

Allegany State Park dominates this terrain, where the peaks of Mt Seneca, Mt Onondaga, and Mt Oneida rise above a complex network of hollows and brooks. To the north, the Allegheny River and its accompanying Allegheny River Reservoir define the valley floor, carving through the Allegheny Indian Reservation. The map captures a landscape shaped by both recreation and transit, with Quaker Lake and Science Lake serving as interior landmarks alongside Camp Turner and Camp No 5. Transportation history is visible in the corridor following the river, where the Conrail line runs parallel to an Old Railroad Grade. This intersection of industrial rail heritage and protected woodland is punctuated by local centers of community like Red House, which features St Johns Ch and a Cem, alongside the Red House Chapel further east.
