2013 Map of Crooked Creek

About this map

Hills Creek Lake serves as a central geographic feature in this part of Tioga County, flanked by Tauscher Pond and the surrounding heights of Bald Hill. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries that feed the regional drainage system, including Hills Creek, Stephenhouse Run, and Lambs Creek as they move toward the Tioga River in the northeast corner. Small rural settlements and crossroads such as Whitneyville, Mardin, and Crooked Creek provide historical anchors for genealogists and local researchers tracing the development of Pennsylvania's northern tier. The road network, including Ore Bed Road and Cobb Road, suggests a history of local industry and transport between these upland communities and the more developed corridors near West Covington and Charleston.
