About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep valley through this portion of Warren and Forest Counties, serving as the primary corridor for the Pennsylvania railroad. The river's winding path dictates the location of major settlements like Tidioute and the neighboring villages of East Hickory and West Hickory. Away from the water, the landscape is defined by high ridges and small agricultural or timber communities.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the County Home south of Tidioute and a dense network of country schools such as McKean Sch, Triumph Sch, and Watson Sch. The map also captures several rural religious centers, including Church Hill Ch and Zuendel Ch, alongside industrial infrastructure like the Wheeler Fire Tower and a Pumping Sta. The presence of numerous named runs, such as Dennis Run and Hickory Creek, highlights the complex drainage system feeding into the Allegheny.
