2016 Map of Elk Grove

About this map

West Branch Fishing Creek carves a deep valley through the northern reaches of Columbia and Sullivan Counties, anchoring the small settlements of Elk Grove and Jamison City. This landscape is defined by the high elevations of N Mtn and Huckleberry Mtn, where numerous seasonal runs like Bloody Run and Shingle Mill Run descend toward the valley floor. The settlement pattern follows the narrow corridors of the creeks, with Emmons and Central positioned along the primary water routes. To the south, the terrain levels slightly near the communities of Divide and Laubach, where the headwaters of Little Fishing Cr emerge. The presence of Grassmere Park and various family-named landmarks like Richarts Grove reflects a long history of rural habitation in the Pennsylvania mountains, while the extensive network of forest roads suggests the area's continued importance for timber and watershed management.
