About this map

The Allegheny River defines the heart of this Forest County landscape, winding past a series of river islands and distinct local settlements. In this late 20th-century survey, the valley floor accommodates the twin towns of West Hickory and East Hickory, while smaller locales like Trunkeyville and Fagundus occupy the surrounding highlands. The map illustrates a region defined by public lands and industrial history, with the Allegheny National Forest and Cornplanter State Forest blanketing much of the terrain.

Evidence of the area's resource-based economy is visible in several Oil Field labels and scattered gravel pits. Notable local landmarks include the State Fish Hatchery near the southern boundary and the prominent Church Hill and Preacher Hill. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for a local Cem and family-named watercourses such as Jamison Run and McCafferty Run.
