About this map

Warren sits at the confluence of Conewango Creek and the Allegheny River, serving as a vital hub for timber and rail commerce in the early twentieth century. This survey reveals a landscape organized by both river valleys and rugged upland hollows, with the Allegheny National Forest bordering the southern reaches. Notable institutional landmarks include the State Insane Asylum and the nearby Farm Colony north of the city center.

Rural development is marked by a dense network of neighborhood schools like Scranton Hollow School and Dalrymple School, while small settlements such as North Clarendon P O and Weldbank P O highlight the importance of early postal routes. The rail infrastructure is particularly detailed, showing the Pennsylvania R R and the Dunkirk Allegheny Valley and Pittsburg R R following the watercourses to support the regional economy.
