About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep valley through the center of this terrain, with the borough of Tidioute serving as the primary hub along its northern banks. This 1966 survey, revised in the 1970s, captures a river-oriented economy supported by the Penn Central railroad and the presence of numerous small landings and eddies like Tidioute Eddy and Lower Eddy. The surrounding uplands within the Allegheny National Forest are defined by numerous family-named crossroads and small settlements such as Fagundus, Excelsior Corners, and Whitehead Corners.

Genealogists can trace localized histories through several small burial grounds, including the Morrison Hill Cem and Gorman Cem. The landscape is heavily dissected by tributary runs such as Tidioute Creek and Hickory Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early logging and settlement in Warren County. Industrial activity is noted through several Gravel Pits and a prominent Radio Tower on the heights above the river.
