1947 Map of Conrad

About this map

Sinnemahoning Creek East Fork carves a deep valley through the northern Pennsylvania highlands, dictating the settlement patterns of this isolated Potter County terrain. Small communities like Conrad and Logue cling to the narrow banks of Sinnemahoning Creek, while the surrounding plateaus are dominated by ridges and hollows named for early families and local topography, such as Bunnell Ridge and Foster Hollow. The 1945 aerial photography, updated in 1971, reveals a landscape defined by extractive activity and utility corridors, notably the prominent Pipeline cutting across the southern hills near Five Points. Local history is anchored by rural burial grounds like McFall Cem and Brooks Cem, while an extensive network of fire roads and paths, including Wild Boy Road and the Hammersley Trail, provide access to the densely wooded summits and remote stream branches like Trout Run.
