About this map

The Allegheny River and the Allegheny National Forest dominate this regional landscape, which spans the border between Pennsylvania and New York. Large-scale water management projects are evident through the Allegheny Reservoir and Tionesta Reservoir, reflecting the mid-century infrastructure developments of the region. The map captures a network of industrial and timber towns including Warren, Oil City, and Saint Marys, linked by the major rail corridors of the Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna, and Baltimore & Ohio railroads.

Conservation areas and state lands define much of the eastern and central terrain, from the Cornplanter State Forest to the expansive Moshannon State Forest. These public lands sit alongside historic oil and coal regions, where settlements like Titusville and Clearfield established their economic foundations. The detailed road network, including U S 6 and U S 219, provides a clear view of the connectivity between these northern Appalachian communities during the late 1960s revision period.
