About this map

The confluence of Conewango Creek and the Allegheny River anchors this mid-century Pennsylvania landscape, centered on the borough of Warren. The industrial character of the era is evident in the Oil Refinery and the extensive oil field operations scattered across the eastern hills. Transportation routes are dominated by the Pennsylvania Central and New York Central railroads, which parallel the riverbanks and connect riverside settlements like Starbrick and Venturetown.

To the south, the terrain rises into the Allegheny National Forest, where smaller settlements such as Buchers Mills sit along winding waterways like Morrison Run. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous burial grounds including Oakland Cem, Yankee Bush Cem, and St Joseph Cem. The presence of recreational spaces like Washington Park, Camp Birdsell Edey, and Chapman State Park highlights the balance between the region's extraction industries and its role as a gateway to the Pennsylvania outdoors.
