1966 Map of Stickney

About this map

Stickney serves as the central focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the meandering course of Willow Creek where it meets Cobb Creek. This area of the Pennsylvania-New York border is defined by a dense network of steep drainages and logging or maintenance access routes like Boatroad and Harlow Trail. The landscape reveals a legacy of resource extraction, with numerous Oil Wells scattered through the valleys of Porter Hollow and Cobb Hollow. Much of the terrain falls within the Allegheny National Forest, transitioning northward across the state line into Allegany State Park and the Red House area. The topographic detail captures a rugged geography of family-named hollows, including Schoolhouse Hollow and Holmes Hollow, suggesting the location of early rural infrastructure and homesteads that predated the consolidation of the forest lands.
