  • 2020-45 Long Range Transportation Plan
    2020-45 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN ADOPTED JUNE 23, 2020 This page intentionally left blank 2 Northwest Pennsylvania Commission 2020-45 Long Range Transportation Plan Prepared for: Northwest Commission 395 Seneca Street P.O. Box 1127 Oil City, PA 16301 (814) 677-4800 http://northwestpa.org/transportation/ By: Michael Baker International 4431 N. Front Street Harrisburg, PA 17110 (717) 213-2900 June 23, 2020 Our Regional Geographic Position The Northwest PA region includes a 5-county area located in the northwestern corner of Pennsylvania. It is one of the state’s smallest transportation planning regions by population, yet consists of nearly 3,600 square miles of land area (or an area roughly half the size of New Jersey). The region’s location just off the shores of Lake Erie also makes it an area with one of the harshest environments in the state. The region is situated within the winter snowbelt, and annually receives upwards of 100 inches of snowfall, along with 40-48 inches of rain. PennDOT typically spends anywhere from 100 to 150 days a year de-icing the region’s roadways. Geologically, the region is located within the broader Appalachian Plateau region, with deposits of glacial till that can run more than 200 feet deep. This environmental phenomenon can substantially drive up the costs of bridge maintenance and construction, just as much as the region’s freeze and thaw cycles can adversely affect roadway conditions. The region in general is very rural, with a population density of only 64 persons per square mile. In addition, significant portions of the region are quite remote and inaccessible, with limited access to the national Interstate system.

  • Water Resources
    WATER RESOURCES Major Tributaries The French Creek watershed has ten major tributaries whose sub-basins cover at least 50 square miles (Figure 3). In addition, those major sub-basins can be broken down further into the Pennsylvania State Water Plan designated small watersheds (Figure 13). The PA portion of the main stem of French Creek is classified as a warm water fishery (WWF) by the PA Department of Environmental Protection’s Water Quality Standards (PA Title 25, Chapter 93). West Branch of French Creek The West Branch of French Creek originates in Chautauqua County, New York and flows southwest into Erie County, Pennsylvania before turning south. It joins French Creek from the right side (facing downstream), near Wattsburg, at river mile 84.42 and drains 77.7 square miles. It drains portions of Northeast, Greenfield, and Venango townships and Wattsburg Borough in Pennsylvania. The low gradient West Branch and all of its tributaries are classified as WWF. The West Branch sub-basin contains the most extensive wetlands, including rare fens, of any Pennsylvania headwater area. Although this sub-basin still contains blocks of contiguous forest and undeveloped riparian areas, it is beginning to see development pressure from the city of Erie and North East. Work by Dr. J. Stauffer, et al, Penn State University, and other historic records have documented 26 species of fish from the West Branch sub-basin (Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, 1992). These include the PA threatened mountain brook lamprey (Ichthyomyzon greeleyi), and Ohio lamprey (Ichthyomyzon bdellium). According to surveys by WPC biologists, this stream also supports 13 freshwater mussel species, including a “viable population of the [former] federal candidate Epioblasma triqueta (snuffbox)” (Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, 1994).

  • THE VENANGO PATH AS THOMAS HUTCHINS KNEW IT Niles Anderson and Edward G
    THE VENANGO PATH AS THOMAS HUTCHINS KNEW IT Niles Anderson and Edward G. Williams Part II From Venango to Presqu' Isle the preceding installment 34 we followed the Venango Path, as described by Lieutenant Thomas Hutchins, from Fort Pitt, across InA the several branches of Beaver Creek (branches of Connoquenessing and Slippery Rock Creeks), across Sandy Creek to Venango (modern Franklin) at the confluence of French Creek withthe Allegheny River. From Venango northward, it is apparent from contemporary maps and journals that several variations in traveled paths existed. Itis equally apparent, from an examination of all the existing evidence, that the path described by Hutchins in the manuscript herewith printed was the most practicable one during the period 1760-1764. It was the marching route of the several units of Colonel Henry Bouquet's de- tachment, inthe summer of 1760, to establish Fort Presqu' Isle on the British communication between Fort Niagara and Detroit. Two prac- tically identical versions of Hutchins' journal of this march have been published. 35 The road description herewith presented, however, ex- pands greatly upon the bare facts contained in the journal by charac- terizing the trail itself, the soil, the country through which it passed, the topographical and physical features of the terrain, the woods and vegetation. Italso contains internal evidence of having been written subsequent to the capture and destruction of the forts by the Indians during Pontiac's uprising in 1763. This and other road descriptions Hutchins kept during his journeys over much of the country east of the Mississippi were useful to him when he later (1778) compiled his A Topographical Description of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and North Carolina} 6 Three times during the Revolution, the Venango Path suddenly burst into prominence in the official correspondence and orders of both American and British army headquarters.

  • Oldvenango Owes Its Importance Inpioneer History Inno Small
    THE VENANGO FORDS AND TRAILS WILLIAMYOUNG BR,ADY Venango owes its importance in pioneer history in no small Oldway to three fords, one across the Allegheny River and two across French Creek. These fords attracted numerous travelers and became the focus of the early travel system innorthwestern Pennsylvania. The strip of bottom land, which forms the site of the present town of Franklin, extends crescent-shape northward along the west bank of the Allegheny and northwesterly along French Creek. The Allegheny ford is near the foot of Sixth Street and the French Creek fords are at Tenth and Thirteenth Streets, approximately. When Washington and Gist traveled from Logstown to Venango in 1753 they made their destination the cabin of John Fraser, an Indian trader whose home had been appropriated by Captain Joncaire and a party of Frenchmen after its owner had fled.1 Two traders, John Trot- ter and James McLaughlen, had lately been waylaid and captured at the ford.2 This cabin was undoubtedly situated at the Allegheny River ford, or on the trail from that ford back to the hillin the direction of what is now Pittsburgh. Itstood very near the site of the French Fort Machault which was built the following year near the foot of Sixth and Seventh Streets. In support of this view, reference is made to Washington's map show- ing the route of his journey in 1753, published in the January, 1932, is- sue of the National Geographic Magazine, by courtesy of the Library of Congress. On this map the line indicating Washington's route is drawn with a sharp quarter turn, ending in an arrow point in the direction of the junction of the creek and river and of a house below the junction.
