2023 Map of Westline

About this map

Allegheny National Forest dominates this section of McKean County, where the terrain is defined by the deep dissection of the plateau by Kinzua Creek and Chappel Fork. The small settlement of Westline sits at the confluence of several mountain streams, serving as a hub for the Kinzua Valley Trl and the Westline X-C Ski Trl. Further north, the village of Marshburg is marked by the Marshburg Cem near the junction of Forrestery Rd and Chappel Fork Rd. The landscape reflects a modern emphasis on recreation and conservation within the forest, evidenced by an extensive network of named paths such as the North Country National Scenic Trl and the Timberdoodle Flats Interp Trl. These trails follow the contours of high points like Paines Summit and trace the many narrow valleys, including White Gravel Creek and Sugar Run, that characterize this heavily forested region of Pennsylvania.
