1924 Map of Tionesta

About this map

Tionesta and the Allegheny River anchor the northern landscape of this 1920s survey, where the river winds through the nascent Allegheny National Forest. The map captures a rugged stretch of Pennsylvania's northern plateau, defined by deep valleys carved by Tionesta Creek and Licking Creek. A dense network of one-room schoolhouses—such as Rattlesnake School, Smoky Hill School, and Amsler School—serves scattered agricultural and industrial hamlets, reflecting the rural social structure before the consolidation of rural education.
