About this map

Loyalsock Creek carves a deep valley through this Pennsylvania landscape, serving as the primary drainage for numerous steep-sided hollows and ridges. The settlement of Barbours sits at the junction of the creek and Plunketts Cr, near the Whipple Cem. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with named peaks like Sharp Top, Camp Mtn, and Cove Mtn rising above the stream beds.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is preserved in labels such as Coal Mine Hollow, while small upland communities like Hoppestown and Proctor are linked by a network of winding mountain roads. Several viewpoints, including Sharp Top Vista, overlook the complex system of runs and branches, such as Noon Br and E Br Wallis Run, that feed into the larger creek systems along the Lycoming and Sullivan county line.
