2016 Map of Bradford

About this map

Bradford serves as the industrial and social anchor of this valley landscape, where the Tunungwant Creek and its many branches like Marilla Brook and Bolivar Run have shaped both the terrain and the town's expansion. The complex topography is defined by narrow hollows such as Hedgehog Hollow and Gates Hollow, while the higher ground of Blacksnake Mtn overlooks a system of vital water resources, including the Bradford City Number Two Reservoir and Bradford City Number Five Reservoir. This 2016 survey documents the institutional footprint of the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford and the series of small communities like Degolia and Custer City that follow the valley floor southward toward the Allegheny National Forest. Local heritage is preserved in the detailed marking of sites like Oak Hill Cem and the footprint of Hazelton Mills.
