2019 Map of Devils Elbow

About this map

Mosquito Creek and its many tributaries carve through this high plateau region of the Moshannon State Forest at the junction of Cameron and Clearfield counties. The settlement of Piper sits along the Reservoir Rd corridor, while the namesake Devils Elbow marks a sharp bend in the terrain and roadway near the southern border. This area is defined by a dense network of mountain drafts and runs, including Sanders Draft and Upper Three Runs, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns typical of the Pennsylvania Wilds. Human presence is concentrated along historical thoroughfares like the Quehanna Hwy and Caledonia Pike, providing access to remote locations like Arnold Mtn and the depths of Dutch Hollow. The map reveals a landscape managed for timber and recreation, crisscrossed by secondary roads such as Chipper Rd and Lost Run Rd.
