About this map

Pine Creek Gorge dominates this landscape on the border of Tioga and Lycoming Counties, where the winding water has carved deep through the plateau. Small settlements like Blackwell and Cedar Run occupy narrow benches of land along the creek, while Leetonia sits to the northwest near the headwaters of Cedar Run. The rugged geography is largely preserved within the Tioga State Forest and Tiadaghton State Forest, interspersed with designated conservation areas like State Game Lands No 75.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible in labels such as Stone Quarry Run, Clay Mine Run, and Mine Hole Hill, suggesting the industrial efforts required to navigate and utilize this terrain. The map also records the complex drainage network of the region, from the Spinning Wheel Branch to the dramatic bends of The Narrows, illustrating how early mountain travel and settlement were dictated by these steep-walled corridors.
