About this map

Deep ravines and high ridges define the landscape of Potter County in the late 1940s, where small settlements like Ayers Hill and Borie occupy the narrow gaps between steep upland summits. The map illustrates a rural society organized around its waters, from the headwaters of Sinnemahoning Creek First Fork to the winding course of Prouty Run. Local heritage is preserved in sites like the United Brethren Ch and several family-named burial grounds, including Ayers Hill Cem and Jackson Cem.

Recreational and industrial footprints are evident through the Coudersport Country Club and an Underground Pipe Line that traverses Cochran Hill and Kaple Hill. Extensive trail networks, such as the Black Diamond Road and Schoolhouse Trail, spiderweb across the terrain, reflecting the area's history of timbering and resource extraction. The presence of a Gas Well near Jenkins Hill further underscores the region's connection to the energy industry during this era.
