2016 Map of Carman

About this map

Little Toby Creek carves a deep valley through this corner of the Allegheny National Forest, where the border between Elk and Jefferson Counties follows the high ridges. In the south, the settlement of Brockway sits at the junction of several drainage basins, with Saint Tobias Cem located on the rising ground of Cemetery Hl. The map reveals a landscape defined by its industrial and transit history, evidenced by the Empire Tunnel beneath Elk Lick Bluff and the network of roads like German Settlement Rd and Clay Plant Rd that connect high-plateau clearings. The northern reach is anchored by the Clarion River near the small communities of Carman and Croyland, illustrating the tight spatial relationship between early Pennsylvania settlements and the primary watercourses and narrow valley floors they occupied.
