2010 Map of Dents Run

About this map

Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek flows through the center of this rural landscape, carving a deep valley that dictates the placement of early settlements and roads. Small communities like Grant, Sumerson, and Dents Run are concentrated along the waterway, connected by the historical winding path of Dents Run RD. Away from the river, the terrain rises sharply into named elevations like Winslow Hill and Grant Hill, where the land is dominated by significant protected zones including the Marion Brooks Natural Area and the Quehanna Wild Area. For genealogists, the Johnson Cemetery provides a specific point of family history research located near the namesake Johnson Run. The map's labeling of numerous hollows and drafts, such as Dark Hollow and English Draft, illustrates a deeply dissected plateau where drainage patterns like Mix Run and Hicks Run define the local geography.
