About this map

Susquehannock State Forest blankets this corner of Potter County, where the narrow valleys of the Sinnemahoning Creek East Fork dictate the area's movement and history. The small settlement at Conrad serves as a local anchor near the convergence of numerous named runs and hollows, including Jordan Hollow and Black Stump Hollow. This landscape is defined by the deep dissection of Bunnell Ridge and Pine Hill, creating a network of high ridges and isolated drainages.

Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Brooks Cem and McCall Cem, while the presence of Gas Wells indicates the region's long-standing reliance on natural resource extraction. The map preserves the paths of early forestry and access routes, including the Nelson Trail and Shanghai Trail, which navigate the steep terrain between Sylvania and Wharton townships. The drainage patterns of Nelson Run and Trout Run reveal the intricate topography that has historically shaped small-scale settlement and timbering in this part of Pennsylvania.
