About this map

Brokenstraw Creek and the Allegheny River converge in this Warren County landscape, dominated by the industrial and civic activity of Youngsville during the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a region where local infrastructure, such as the County Home and Hospital and a High School, meets the natural expanses of the Allegheny National Forest. Transportation routes are defined by the Penn Central Railroad and the historic Old Grade, supporting a legacy of extraction visible through numerous Oil Wells and the sprawling Oil Field north of Irvine.

Significant landmarks like St Lukes Ch and Allegheny Springs anchor the settled valleys, while the river's path is marked by large landforms including Thompsons Island and Crulls Island. The topographic detail reveals the steep transition from the riverbanks to higher terrain like York Mtn and Crippen Hill, providing a clear view of the area's complex drainage through runs like Anders Run and Matthews Run.
