2023 Map of Crosby

About this map

Potato Creek and its many winding tributaries define this portion of McKean County, where high ridges separate narrow hollows and small creek-side settlements. This modern survey illustrates a landscape shaped by historical industrial corridors, particularly near Clermont and Crosby. The northern reaches of the East Branch Clarion River originate in the southwest, while the eastern edge follows the valley floor along Rte 46. Local genealogists will find the locations of Norwich Cem and Clermont Cem preserved alongside family-named landmarks like Bunker Hill and Jay Cox Hill. The network of forestry roads and hollows, such as Frog Camp Hollow and Sugar Bush Hollow, suggests a region long defined by timbering and rural homesteads. Small hamlet locations like Hamlin Station and Betula remain anchored to the river valleys that have historically provided the primary routes of travel through the Pennsylvania high country.
