About this map

Allegheny National Forest dominates this northern Pennsylvania landscape, straddling the state line where Cattaraugus and McKean Counties meet. The settlement of Stickney is the primary point of habitation, situated at the confluence of several steep valleys and a network of oil wells that underscore the region's industrial heritage. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of hollows and runs, including Schoolhouse Hollow and Mill Hollow, which suggest a history of early rural infrastructure tucked into the timbered slopes.

Waterways like Willow Creek and Sugar Run drain the high plateaus of Corydon and Bradford townships. Notable landmarks such as Boatroad and the drainage patterns of Johnnycake Run and Railroad Run provide clear evidence of how transportation and resource extraction shaped this borderland. The transition into New York's Allegheny State Park at the northern boundary highlights the area's significance as a contiguous protected wilderness.
