About this map

The tiny settlement of Conrad sits at the confluence of several mountain streams, anchored by the Sinnemahoning Creek East Fork. This 1947 field-checked survey reveals the deep-cut valleys and ridges of Potter County, where life followed the winding path of East Fork Road and its tributaries. For those tracing family ties to this remote timber and gas region, the map preserves the locations of McFall Cem and Brooks Cem, along with topographic landmarks like Bunnell Ridge and Pine Hill.

The landscape is marked by industrial footprints of the era, including a series of gas wells and a prominent Fire Tower overlooking Sylvania. Numerous named hollows and runs, such as Black Stump Hollow and Schoolhouse Run, indicate a history of local nomenclature tied to early settlers and school districts. The mapping also details a significant Pipeline network, reflecting the area's role in the mid-century energy infrastructure of Pennsylvania.
