1948 Map of Cedar Run

About this map

The deep Pine Creek gorge dominates this Pennsylvania mountain landscape, carving a winding path between Tioga Co and Lycoming Co. In the late 1940s, small settlements like Cedar Run and Blackwell served as critical points along the Central New York railroad line, which hugs the riverbanks through the tight canyon known as the Gorge. Evidence of early industrial activity is visible in names like Clay Mine Run and Stone Quarry Run, while the remote northern reaches show isolated mountain communities such as Leetonia and Gleason. The map documents a rugged river-and-rail economy where narrow valleys like Babb Creek meet the main waterway. Local genealogy is well-served by landmarks such as the Cedar Run Ch and the Lloyd P O, providing clear reference points for researchers tracing family history in these Pennsylvania hollows.
