About this map

Tionesta serves as the focal point of this Forest County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Allegheny River and Tionesta Creek. The town's historical geography is anchored by the Mount Collins Cemetery and the Forest County War Memorial, while the Tionesta Dam to the east has fundamentally altered the natural drainage of the creek, creating the expansive Tionesta Lake. This water management system defines much of the northern topography, contrasted by the winding rural roads that connect smaller outlying settlements.

Further south, the terrain transitions into a network of creek branches and small crossroads communities. Small hamlets such as Nebraska, Wolfs Corners, and Lake Lucy are connected by local routes like Karg Hill Rd and Old State Route 157. The map documents a complex system of drainage including Hemlock Creek and its various branches, illustrating the dissected plateau character of the region. Local landmarks like Camp Tionesta and several family-named corners provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of this riverfront and forest area.
