2013 Map of Ayers Hill

About this map

Ayers Hill and the settlement of Borie anchor this high-elevation landscape in Potter County, defined by a complex network of narrow hollows and winding mountain runs. The drainage patterns of the Allegheny Plateau are clearly visible as the First Fork Sinnemahoning Cr and Big Moores Run carve through the terrain, separated by prominent heights like Jenkins Hill and Cochran Hill. Historically significant local naming is evident in features such as Knickerbocker Hollow, Teed Hollow, and Bates Hollow, which often indicate family landholdings or early logging camps. In the eastern portion of the map, Prouty Place State Park provides a managed conservation area amidst the various watercourses, including Prouty Run and Nelson Run. The rugged character of the area is further emphasized by curious local toponyms like The Black Hole and Mud Lick Hollow, located among the many gravel access roads like Watson Farm Rd and Deering Run Rd.
