About this map

Penns Creek and Elk Creek converge at the village of Coburn, forming a focal point for settlement and transportation within the gap between Second Mountain and Paddy Mountain. The Penn Central railroad line follows the narrow river corridor, passing the small station at Ingleby and cutting through the ridge at Tunnel Mtn. This late-1960s landscape is defined by the massive ridges of the Bald Eagle State Forest, where early industrial logging is evidenced by labels like Loggers Trail and Sawmill Knob.

Local landmarks such as Trinity Ch and St Johns Ch serve the community at Coburn, while recreational development is centered around Poe Valley State Park. The map also captures distinctive geological and hydrologic features, including the White Mtn Kettle and significant freshwater sources like White Pine Spring and Havice Spring, which feed into the complex system of runs and hollows draining the Haines Hollow and Treaster Valley.
