About this map

The Allegheny River and Conewango Creek define the landscape of this region, meeting at the industrial and residential heart of Warren. The map illustrates a mid-century community shaped by its waterways and energy infrastructure, featuring an Oil Refinery and extensive oil field areas. Settlement extends along the river valleys to smaller hubs like Starbrick and Venturetown, while the surrounding hills, including Yankee Bush Hill, transition into the protected landscape of the Allegheny National Forest.

Genealogical and local history details are abundant, with several cemeteries such as Oakland Cem, St Josephs Cem, and Irvine Cem recorded. Industrial development is marked by the Penn Central railroad lines and specific landmarks like the Warren Airport, a Radio Tower, and the Sewage Disposal plant. Further south, the map reveals more secluded locales like Buchers Mills and Chapman State Park, where the terrain steepens and the river-based economy gives way to the woods and smaller runs.
