About this map

Tidioute and the surrounding riverfront of Warren Co and Forest Co are documented here during the mid-1960s, a period when the timber and petroleum legacy of the region remained etched into the landscape. The Allegheny River defines the southeastern corridor, flowing past Siggias Island and Courson Island, with several distinct river eddies noted such as Tidioute Eddy and Courson Eddy. The Penn Central rail line follows the river's path, serving as a primary transportation artery through the valley.

Legacy industry and early settlement patterns are visible in the numerous Oil Wells scattered across the uplands of Triumph and Deerfield townships. Small crossroad communities such as Sutton Corners, Excelsior Corners, and Whitehead Corners orient the rural geography. For those tracing local history, the locations of Morrison Hill Cem and Gorman Cem provide vital genealogical anchor points within the vast reaches of the Allegheny National Forest.
