About this map

Conrad and the surrounding high-altitude plateaus of Potter County are depicted here shortly after the Second World War. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek and the West Branch Pine Creek, creating a network of ridges and hollows that historically challenged early transit. Small settlements like Borie and Logue are shown alongside essential community landmarks, including the United Brethren Ch and several family-named burial grounds like Ayers Hill Cem and Jackson Cem.

The prominence of the Coudersport Pike and the Turnpike Road illustrates the evolution of mountain travel from early timber trails to established routes. Recreation and conservation efforts are evident through the presence of Cherry Springs Park and Patterson Park, situated on the upland flats. Landforms such as Mount Brodhead and Elk Lick Knob dominate the topography, reflecting the rural character of this northern Pennsylvania timber country during the mid-20th century.
