About this map

Little Toby Creek and the Clarion River dictate the settlement and industrial patterns across this portion of Elk and Jefferson counties. The landscape is defined by extensive state holdings, including State Game Lands No 44 and State Game Lands No 54, which preserve the steep, wooded terrain surrounding Empire Ridge and Elk Lick Bluff.

Heavy industry and extraction are prominent, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and several Strip Mine operations near Brockway. Transportation infrastructure is particularly dense along the creek valleys, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania Central railroads parallel the water. Small settlements like Carman, Croyland, and Crenshaw dot the rail lines, while more remote landmarks such as the Empire Tunnel and the St Tobias Cem near the southern border provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists.
