About this map

The Allegheny River valley dominates this landscape, showing the extensive waters of the Allegheny Reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 1328 feet. This area is characterized by the intersection of the Allegheny Indian Reservation and the expansive Allegany State Park, which covers much of the southern terrain. Small settlements and points of interest are concentrated along the northern corridor, including Red House and Cold Spring.

Tracing the geography reveals several high peaks, such as Mt Onondaga and Mt Seneca, alongside numerous named hollows like Cain Hollow and Fox Hollow. Significant transportation features include the Conrail line following the riverbank and the winding Quaker Run Road which provides access to the Quaker Run Area. Local landmarks like the Red House Chapel, St Johns Ch, and the Lookout Tower on a southern ridge offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the mid-20th-century development of this border region near the New York Pennsylvania state line.
