About this map

The Allegheny River and Great Valley Creek converge near the heart of this survey, defining the industrial and transportation corridor of the Salamanca area in the early 1960s. The city is detailed alongside the Allegheny Indian Reservation, showing a landscape shaped by both the Erie-Lackawanna and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Notable local institutions include the High Sch, Holy Cross Ch, and Wildwood Cem.

Upland from the river valley, the topography reveals a network of hollows such as Mutton Hollow, Christian Hollow, and Porter Hollow. To the south, the northern edge of Allegany State Park begins, while the unique geological formation at Little Rock City sits to the north. Smaller settlements like Killbuck, Peth, and Wrights anchor the outlying valley floors, illustrating the historic settlement patterns of Little Valley and Great Valley.
