About this map

Cherry Springs Park sits at the heart of this landscape, characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges in Potter County. High-altitude clearings like the Landing Field and the Cherry Springs Fire Tower overlook the headwaters of the West Branch Pine Creek. The area’s industrial and transit history is marked by the winding route of the B and O Railroad and the historic Coudersport Pike.

Smaller settlements and seasonal locations like Lyman Run Camp and Corbett are connected by an extensive system of trails, including the Sinnemahoning Trail and Alabama Trail. These paths follow the natural contours of the land, weaving through family-named landmarks such as Palmatier Hollow and Burdock Hollow. The presence of the Splash Dam Run points to the region's earlier logging era, while the numerous pipe lines and fire roads indicate the forest management practices of the mid-twentieth century.
