Big Cove Creek and its many tributaries carve through the narrow valleys of Fulton County, defining a landscape dominated by the parallel rises of Tuscarora Mountain and Scrub Ridge. This 2016 survey shows the enduring footprint of small crossroads settlements like Websters Mill and the community of Big Cove Tannery, which sits at the base of Dickeys Mountain. The complex topography is marked by named hollows and ridges, including Lockings Hollow and Chestnut Flat, while the eastern border follows the high crest of Tuscarora Mountain into Franklin County. A network of rural routes, such as Great Cove Rd and Big Cove Tannery Rd, connects these isolated valleys, preserving a modern view of a region defined by its rugged Pennsylvania ridge-and-valley geography.
