About this map

Blossburg and the surrounding high ground of Tioga County are defined by a complex network of narrow valleys and ridges that once fueled the region's coal and timber industries. The Tioga River flows north toward Covington, flanked by the Appalachian Throughway and significant peaks such as South Mtn and Pine Hill. This modern survey traces the enduring footprint of industrial-era settlements like Arnot and Morris Run, where small residential clusters remain situated along the steep slopes of Pig Hill and Barneys Hill.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Old Settlers Cem, Swedish Lutheran Cem, and the Morris Run - Lutheran Community Cem. The landscape is heavily dissected by numerous runs and creeks, such as Bellman Run and Coal Cr, which descend from the uplands toward the Morris Run Reservoir. Local infrastructure is marked by historical routes like the Susquehanna Trl and Williamson Rd.
