About this map

The Clarion River snakes through the northern reaches of this Elk County landscape, where the confluence of several tributaries defines the local topography. At the southern edge, the borough of Brockway and the settlement of Crenshaw mark the transition toward Jefferson County, positioned along the banks of Toby Creek. This survey reveals a landscape heavily shaped by natural resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells, a Clay Pit, and several Reclaimed Strip Mines scattered across the upland plateaus.

Public lands dominate the central and northern sections, including State Game Lands No 44 and a portion of the Allegheny National Forest. Significant local landmarks like Elk Lick Bluff and Vineyard Point overlook the winding path of Little Toby Creek, while smaller communities such as Carman and Croyland sit near the water's edge. Notable sites for researchers include the Empire Tunnel and St Tobias Cem.
