1947 Map of Ayers Hill

About this map

The mountain settlements of Ayers Hill and Borie anchor this mid-century survey of the Potter County highlands. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow runs, where early transportation routes like the Jersey Shore Turnpike and Patterson Road follow the natural contours of the land. Evidence of the region's logging and hunting heritage is visible in labels for the Splash Dam on the West Branch and several shanty sites, while the presence of the United Brethren Ch and family-named cemeteries such as Anson Cem and Jackson Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research. The northern reaches show the early development of the Coudersport Country Club, contrasting with the more primitive networks of the Ayers Shanty Trail and Gillon Trail that crisscross the steep ridges of Sylvania and Summit townships.
