2010 Map of Black Moshannon

About this map

Black Moshannon Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this landscape in Pennsylvania's high plateau country. The topography is defined by the winding course of Moshannon Creek and its many tributaries, including Sixmile Run and Black Moshannon Creek. While primarily an area of forested hills and narrow valleys like Panther Hollow and Sawdust Hollow, the map documents human infrastructure integrated into the wilderness, such as the Mid-State Airport and the Rattlesnake Lookout Tower. Small settlements like Peale and Beaver Mills are connected by a network of rural routes and forest trails. The presence of the Black Moshannon Dam and Kephart Dam indicates the controlled water systems that manage the lake, while landmarks like Turtle Rocks and Hunters Rocks point to the distinct geological character of the region.
