About this map

Tionesta and the Allegheny River valley anchor this rural landscape in the 1920s, a region defined by its rugged topography and industrial roots. The map reveals a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, such as Paint Mills School, Huddleson School, and Rattlesnake School, which served the scattered agricultural and timbering communities of Knox, Farmington, and Washington townships. Transport in the southern reaches is dominated by the New York Central railroad, with Shippenville Station serving as a vital link for local commerce.

The industrial history of Clarion County is evident in features like Helen Furnace, while the early 20th-century settlement pattern shows established villages such as Lucinda, Fryburg, and Lickingville. In the north, the Allegheny National Forest begins to encroach upon the Tionesta Creek drainage, where small settlements like Nebraska and Guitonville sit amidst a complex system of runs and creeks, including Little Coon Creek and Licking Creek.
