1922 Map of Tionesta

About this map

Tionesta serves as the focal point of this 1922 survey, situated at the confluence of the Allegheny River and Tionesta Creek. The map documents a landscape transitioning from the river-dependent economies of the 19th century toward the industrial era, marked by the lines of the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads. The northern reaches are dominated by the burgeoning Allegheny National Forest and a State Game Preserve, reflecting a shift toward forest management.
