About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep valley through this portion of Forest County, defining the settlement patterns of towns like Trunkeyville and West Hickory. This corridor is marked by numerous river features, including Hemlock Island, King Island, and Baker Island, which sit amidst a network of steep-banked tributaries such as W Hickory Cr and Little Hickory Run. The landscape is a mix of high timberland and river-bottom landings, where small communities like Jamison and Dawson Run emerged along the water’s edge.

Local landmarks such as Butcherknife Hill and Preacher Hill overlook the winding valley, while specialized infrastructure like the Mtn Crest Airport is situated on the higher plateaus. Further east, the map traces the smaller hubs of Endeavor and East Hickory near the confluence of E Hickory Cr. The numerous named runs, from Fagundus Run to Tubbs Run, reflect the complex drainage of the Allegheny Plateau as it appeared in the early 21st century.
