About this map

Lycoming Cr carves a deep path through the highlands of northern Pennsylvania, anchoring a landscape defined by narrow hollows and high ridges like Burnetts Ridge. The settlement of Bodines sits at a strategic bend in the creek, while other small communities such as Marsh Hill and Calvert are tucked into the valleys created by Mill Hollow Run and Pleasant Stream. This geography dictated a development pattern of isolated mountain farmsteads and small crossroad hamlets connected by winding valley roads.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the drainage of Wallis Run and the presence of Logue Airport, a notable aviation landmark in an otherwise primarily forest and agricultural setting. Numerous named mountain features, including Batys Mountain, Jacoby Mountain, and Blessing Mountain, overlook a series of precisely named drainages such as Fourth Bottom Hollow and Fifth Bottom Hollow, which trace the intricate local topography used for centuries by hunters and timbermen.
