About this map

Sinnemahoning Creek carves a deep path through this section of the Allegheny Plateau, serving as the primary corridor for both the Penn Central railroad and local settlements. The junction at Driftwood and the nearby village of Sinnemahoning represent vital historical nodes where water and rail networks converged. The terrain is defined by steep-walled hollows and named drafts, such as Pepperhill Run and Jerry Run, which drain the surrounding highlands into the creek.

Genealogical interest is found at the Miller Cem located along the First Fork, while small local sidings and map points like Jericho and Wyside show the distribution of population along the valley floor. Technical details such as a Gaging Sta on the creek and various pipelines crossing the ridges illustrate the intersection of the natural landscape with industrial infrastructure during the mid-20th century.
