1959 Map of Devils Elbow

About this map

Moshannon State Forest dominates this landscape, where the borders of Clearfield, Elk, and Cameron counties meet along high ridges and deep-cut stream valleys. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Moshanon Creek, Twelvemile Creek, and Wykoff Run, which carved the sharp bend at Devils Elbow. Human activity is concentrated around the small settlement of Piper and the adjacent Strip Mine operations in the southeast.
