2023 Map of Derrick City

About this map

Derrick City and its surrounding hill country define this detailed study of McKean County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of deep hollows, including Buchanan Hollow, Totten Hollow, and Garlock Hollow, which dictate the placement of early settlements and roads. Small communities such as Gilmore, Bells Camp, and Fairview Heights sit at the edges of Bradford, while the Sawyer Cem remains a quiet landmark near Sawyer City. The local topography is further shaped by the winding courses of Tuna Creek and Knapp Creek, which have historically influenced the region's transport and industrial corridors. In the southern portion of the map, the settlements of Rew, Coleville, and Bordell highlight the persistent rural character of the area, providing a clear picture of the modern road network and geographic continuity in this part of Pennsylvania.
