About this map

The Coudersport Pike and Jersey Shore Turnpike intersect in this mid-century survey of Potter County, tracing the high ridges of the Pennsylvania Wilds. This landscape is defined by the deep dissection of the Allegheny Plateau, where the First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek and East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek carve through steep-walled hollows. The settlement pattern is sparse, with small communities like Conrad and Borie serving as anchor points for rural life.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and remote burial grounds, such as Angell Cem and Patterson Cem. The map also captures the early recreational development of the region at Cherry Springs Park and the Coudersport Country Club. Notable infrastructure of the era includes the Cherry Springs Fire Tower and the United Brethren Ch, which stand as landmarks for the scattered farmsteads and timber camps.
