2010 Map of Brookland

About this map

Pine Creek and Ninemile Run define the central drainage of this northern Pennsylvania landscape, where narrow valleys and named hollows dictate the layout of roads and settlements. The map highlights the high-elevation terrain near Triple Divide, a significant geographical point where waters split toward different watersheds. Local recreation and infrastructure are prominent in the southern portion of the quadrangle, which features the Denton Hill Ski Area within Denton Hill State Park and the uniquely named Potato City Airport near the border of Sweden. Smaller hamlets like Brookland, Gold, and Walton are connected by a network of rural routes such as Sweden Hill Rd and Brookland Rd, following the contours of the land. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named terrain features like Crowell Hollow, Heath Hollow, and Reese Hollow, which provide clues to early land use and settlement patterns in Potter County.
