About this map

Loyalsock Creek winds through the deep valleys of this north-central Pennsylvania landscape, where small rural settlements like Barbours and Proctor anchor the narrow riparian corridors. The map reveals a region defined by extensive public lands, including the Tiadaghton State Forest and State Game Lands No 134, which cover much of the high ground between McIntyre and McNett.

Evidence of historical industry and community life is found in the scattered labels for a Coal Mine in Coal Hollow and local landmarks like the Jefferson Sch and Whipple Cem Sch. The presence of an Old Grade Road along Pleasant Stream suggests the area's history of logging and resource extraction. Significant elevations such as Sharp Top and Scalte Knob punctuate the ridges, providing a detailed look at the topography before late-twentieth-century updates.
