About this map

Driftwood sits at the significant confluence where the Driftwood Branch and Bennett Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek meet. This 2019 survey documents the rugged landscape of Elk and Cameron Counties, characterized by deep-cut drafts and hollows like Horsehead Hollow and White Oak Draft. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, connected by the historical Low Grade Rd and modern corridors like the Quehanna Hwy.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous small burial sites scattered across the terrain, including Saint James Catholic Cem and Oak Hill Cem. The map traces the remnants of the region's industrial past and transit routes, from the namesake Hicks Run in the northwest to the clusters at Castle Garden. Extensive forestry and conservation land is evident through the network of named paths such as the Quehanna Track and Gilmore Trl.
