2016 Map of Stickney

About this map

The Allegheny National Forest dominates this section of McKean County, where a dense network of watercourses and hollows defines the landscape just south of the New York state line. The settlement of Stickney is situated along Willow Cr, serving as a central point in a region characterized by timber and resource extraction, as evidenced by names like Shingle Mill Hollow. High points such as Mt Mohawk overlook a complex drainage system including Wolf Run, Railroad Run, and Whitney Run. The mapping of these features, alongside numerous family-named landmarks like Conover Hollow and Bullis Hollow, provides a clear view of the area's geography in the mid-2010s. Modern recreational use is represented by the N Country National Scenic Trail which traverses the southern portion of the map, while historical land use patterns are preserved in names like Schoolhouse Hollow.
