2011 Map of West Hickory

About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep valley through this portion of Forest County, serving as the primary geographic corridor for a string of riverside settlements. Small hamlets like Trunkeyville, West Hickory, and Jamison are tucked against the river's banks, while the local economy is anchored by the Endeavor Post Office and West Hickory Post Office. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and numerous tributary runs, such as West Hickory Creek and Pithole Creek, which drain into the main waterway. Named landforms like Butcherknife Hill and Preacher Hill rise above the narrow floodplains, while Hemlock Island and Baker Island punctuate the river's course. This mapping shows the distribution of local infrastructure, from Lalich Field near the river to the upland settlement at Church Hill, illustrating a landscape where topography strictly dictates the path of roads like Trunkeyville Rd and the placement of communities.
