About this map

Pine Creek Gorge dominates this mid-century survey of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon region, where the steep canyon walls create dramatic natural bottlenecks like The Narrows. Along the waterway, the New York Central railroad follows the winding banks of Pine Creek, connecting small riverside outposts such as Blackwell Lloyd PO and the settlement of Cedar Run. This remote landscape is defined by its industrial past, evidenced by family-named landmarks and geographic features like Stone Quarry Run and Clay Mine Run.

High elevations such as High Rollway Hill and Vanaimes Hill overlook a dense network of drainages, including Callahan Run and Babb Creek. Local heritage is preserved in the locations of the Cedar Run Ch and the secluded area of Leetonia in the northwest. The map captures the boundary between Tioga Co and Lycoming Co at a time when these creek-side communities relied heavily on the rail corridor for connection to the outside world.
