About this map

Penns Valley and the northern reaches of the Seven Mountains define this 2019 survey, where the settlement of Coburn sits at the confluence of Penns Creek and Pine Creek. The landscape is dominated by a series of parallel ridges and narrow hollows, characteristic of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. Notable topographic features like Stillhouse Knob, Tunnel Mtn, and Strong Mtn create natural corridors such as Little Poe Valley and Havice Valley. These gaps and valleys have long dictated the placement of mountain roads like Paddy Mountain RD and Treaster Valley RD.

Evidence of local recreation and land use is clear, with the presence of Poe Lake and the scenic overlook at Penn View. In the southern reaches of the map, the Salem United Methodist Cem and the small community of Ingleby provide focal points for local history. The map also traces the drainage patterns of numerous mountain streams, including Treaster Run and Honey Cr, which flow through the deep gaps that pierce these ridges.
