2019 Map of Barbours

About this map

Loyalsock Creek carves a deep valley through the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the settlement at Barbours where Barbours Cem and Whipple Cem are located. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and narrow hollows, such as Coal Mine Hollow and Bar Bottom Hollow, which suggest the historic intersection of industry and topography in this part of Pennsylvania. High points like Sharp Top and Scalte Knob offer significant elevation, with Sharp Top Vista providing a vantage point over the converging drainage systems of Wallis Run and Plunketts Cr. Small, isolated communities like Proctor and Hoppestown are connected by a network of rural routes, including State Game Rd and Hoppestown Rd, reflecting a landscape managed for both timber and wildlife conservation near the Lycoming and Sullivan county line.
