1954 Map of Scandia

About this map

Warren State Hospital anchors the southwestern corner of this Pennsylvania and New York borderland, situated where the terrain begins its ascent toward the heavily timbered tracts of the Allegheny National Forest. The landscape is defined by high ridges like Bone Steel Hill and Heaven Hill, dissected by a dense network of runs including Hatch Run and Akeley Run. The settlement pattern follows a traditional crossroads model typical of the Northern Tier, with small communities and junctions such as Scandia, Clendening Corners, and Lounsbury Corners serving as localized hubs for the surrounding farm and forest lands.
