2013 Map of Devils Elbow

About this map

Quehanna Hwy traverses this high plateau landscape of north-central Pennsylvania, connecting the isolated settlements and seasonal outposts of Karthaus Township. The terrain is defined by deeply incised drainages like Twelvemile Run and Mosquito Cr, which carve through the tableland toward the West Branch Susquehanna valley. Local history is etched into the landscape through named camps and small clusters of activity, including Lime Spring Camp, Pine Spring Camp, and Gum Spring Camp. The settlement at Piper sits centrally, while Dutch Hollow marks a point of interest to the southeast near Arnold Mountain. The winding roads, from the established Caledonia Pike to forest tracks like Three Runs Tower Rd, reveal a region utilized for timber, recreation, and remote habitation, centered around the distinctive topographical feature known as Devils Elbow.
