2016 Map of Ayers Hill

About this map

Ayers Hill and its surrounding heights dominate this terrain in Sweden Township, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve a complex network of hollows. The settlement of Borie sits at a junction where Ayers Shanty Run meets the Prouty Run, illustrating the historical reliance on these narrow valley corridors for travel and small-scale habitation. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, including Ayers Hill Cem, Anson Cem, and Jackson Cem, which are scattered along the ridgelines and slopes rather than centralized in a town. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate here, with features like The Black Hole and Splash Dam Hollow suggesting a history of specialized land use or unique local hydrology near the First Fork Sinnemahoning Cr.
