About this map

Briskey Mountain and the surrounding highlands dominate this part of Pennsylvania, where the border between Bradford and Sullivan Counties meets amidst a network of mountain runs and creeks. Small rural settlements like Wilmot and Cumiskey are centered around local landmarks such as St Francis Church and St Johns Church. The landscape is largely defined by public holdings, including State Game Lands No 142 and State Game Lands No 172, indicating a region that shifted from early agrarian use to conservation and recreation by the late 1960s.

Water systems play a central role in the local geography, with the North Branch Mehoopany Creek and Loyalsock Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of several quarries and a Gravel Pit, likely supporting the rural road networks that connect Kinsley Corners to the village of Colley. Natural features like Saxe Pond and Crane Swamp dot the higher elevations, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and land use patterns of this Northern Tier region.
