About this map

Allegheny National Forest dominates this section of the Pennsylvania highlands, where narrow valleys dictate the pattern of settlement and transit. The main drainage of Tionesta Creek and its many tributaries, including West Branch Tionesta Creek and South Branch Tionesta Creek, create a deeply incised landscape where small communities like Saybrook, Milltown, and Barnes are clustered along the water and valley roads. The map reveals the intersection of conservation and recreation, most notably with the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it traverses the ridges and hollows.

Local history is preserved in sites such as Barnes Cem and the small hamlets of Henrys Mills and Donaldson at the southern edge of the sheet. Industrial and natural features are represented by the Deer Lick Reservoir and prominent peaks like Bull Hill. The terrain is characterized by numerous small runs, such as Arnot Run and Messenger Run, which flow into the larger branches of the Tionesta, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the Warren and Forest County borderlands.
