About this map

The confluence of Driftwood Branch Sinnemahoning Creek and Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek forms the central geography of this Cameron County region. The borough of Driftwood serves as the primary hub, where historic street names like Driftwood Ave and Bridge St trace the town's orientation toward the water. To the south, Castle Garden and its associated Castle Garden Cem sit near the river's bend, while smaller settlements like Hicks Run and Mix Run follow the narrow valleys carved by their namesake streams.

The landscape is defined by steep hollows and drafts, including Horsehead Hollow and Stone Quarry Hollow, indicating a history of resource extraction and local industry. Genealogists can find several family and community burial sites, from Oak Hill Cem near the town center to the Saint James Catholic Cem. Wilderness paths like the Bucktail Path Trl and Fred Woods Trl navigate the high ridges, connecting the modern landscape to the traditional travel corridors through the Elk and Cameron County borderlands.
