About this map

Allegheny National Forest and Allegheny State Park dominate this landscape along the border of McKean County, Pennsylvania, and Cattaraugus County, New York. The small settlement of Stickney is the primary focal point of human activity, situated in a valley where extraction and conservation meet. Numerous Oil Wells are scattered along Willow Creek and its tributaries, such as Porter Hollow and North Branch Willow Creek, documenting the area's industrial legacy.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and hollows, including Shingle Mill Hollow, Schoolhouse Hollow, and Bullis Hollow. These names reflect early timber and community life within the heavy forest cover. Waterways like Sugar Run and Wolf Run carve deep through the plateau, while a network of jeep trails provides access through the protected federal and state lands, illustrating a mid-century balance between resource recovery and wilderness preservation.
