About this map

Cherry Flats and the nearby Landrus settlement anchor this study of north-central Pennsylvania's dissected plateau. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Babb Cr, Nickel Run, and Rock Run, which have carved deep valleys through high points like Maple Hill and depressions such as Copp Hollow. This hydrology has long dictated the layout of the local transport network, with routes like Steam Mill Rd and Swede Hill Rd following the natural contours of the terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds and family plots that mark the area's early residency. Notable sites include the Welsh Settlement Cem and the Buckus Family / Round Top Cem, alongside church-affiliated sites like the Cherry Flats Baptist Cem. These landmarks, along with many family-named roads, offer a tangible connection to the farming and timber-driven communities of Tioga County during the early twenty-first century.
