About this map

Elkland and Osceola anchor the northern valley floor along the Cowanesque River in Tioga County, where the landscape transitions from riverine flats to the high ridges of Mutton Hill and Barney Hill. This 2016 survey documents a rural Pennsylvania landscape defined by its deep hollows and family-named landmarks. Numerous small cemeteries are found throughout the uplands, including Highland Cem overlooking the river and the Butler Hill Cem to the south, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists.

South of the river, the terrain rises toward Briar Hill and the remote community of Shinglebury. Waterways like Windfall Brook and Thornbottom Cr carve through the topography, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local settlement. Facilities like Baker Airport and the crossroads at Elbridge show the modern connectivity of this region, while the network of unpaved roads like Croft Hollow Rd preserves the traditional footprint of these upland townships.
