1927 Map of Tidioute

About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep path through this 1920s landscape, serving as the central artery for the region's industrial and residential development. Along its banks, the Pennsylvania RR connects river towns such as Tidioute, Trunkeyville, and West Hickory, while high ridges like Morrison Hill and Fleming Hill loom above the valley. This era reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Queen Pumping Station and the Wheeler Fire Tower to the notable County Home near Sibold. The map's detail is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it documents an incredible density of small schoolhouses, including the Sutton Hill Sch, McGraw Sch, and Pigeon Hill Sch, alongside local landmarks like Church Hill Ch and Town Line Ch. The rugged borders of the Allegheny National Forest define the eastern reaches, where numerous runs and hollows feed into the main river system.
