1947 Map of Cherry Grove

About this map

Cherry Springs Park serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape, where the plateau terrain is deeply incised by the headwaters of several regional river systems. The map illustrates a complex network of timber and access trails, such as the Boone Trail and Colliersport Trail, which reflect the area's legacy of forest management and early twentieth-century recreation. While the small settlement of Lyman and the nearby Lyman Run Camp are situated along the northern drainages, the southern portion of the sheet is defined by the steep descent toward the East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek. Transportation history is visible through the path of the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad and the high-elevation Cherry Springs Airport, providing a clear picture of how this remote Potter County terrain was utilized for both industry and public service before more modern developments took hold.
