2023 Map of Carman

About this map

The Clarion River and its major tributary, Little Toby Creek, dictate the geography of this rugged borderland between Elk and Jefferson Counties. Historically defined by its river-and-rail industry, the landscape now features the Clarion-Little Toby Creek Trail, which follows the old rail corridor through deep valleys. Small settlements like Carman, Croyland, and Lake City appear along the northern waterways, while the southern portion of the map shows the more developed outskirts of Brockway. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Elk Lick Bluff and Blue Rock. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by the Saint Tobias Cemetery and the Butler County Community College Brockway Campus near the southern edge. The map reveals how the modern road network, including German Settlement Road and Portland Mills Road, navigates the complex system of runs and hollows feeding into the river valley.
