About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep valley through the heart of Warren and Forest Counties, serving as the primary corridor for the Pennsylvania River railroad and several riverside settlements. In this 1920s-era landscape, the borough of Tidioute stands as a focal point, supported by smaller hamlets like Trunkeyville and East Hickory. The terrain is defined by a dense network of runs and creeks, many of which carry family names such as Jones Run, Ben George Run, and Dale Run.

Evidence of the region's resource-based economy is scattered across the hills, from the numerous oil pipe lines crisscrossing the ridges to the isolated Wheeler Fire Tower standing watch over the timberlands. Rural life is well-documented through a high density of one-room schools and country churches, including the Fleming Hill Sch, Gorman Sch, and the Mt Pleasant Ch. Of particular note is the County Home located south of West Hickory, reflecting the social infrastructure of the time.
