McKean County, Pennsylvania

Bradford's oil boom legacy and the Allegheny National Forest - from Bradford's position as the heart of Pennsylvania's late 19th-century oil boom (Bradford oil field, discovered 1875, became one of the most productive oil fields in the world - at its 1880 peak producing nearly half of the world's oil supply, turning Bradford into a boomtown of extraordinary wealth virtually overnight) to the Allegheny National Forest's northern reaches, Kinzua Dam and Reservoir, and a northwestern Pennsylvania county whose oil heritage shaped the global petroleum industry.
