2010 Map of Ellisburg

About this map

Oswayo Creek and its various tributaries, including Hemlock Hollow Run and Peet Brook, define the drainage of this Pennsylvania-New York borderland. The landscape is characterized by a series of high ridges and hollows, such as McGinnis Hollow, Leadville Hollow, and Kenyon Hollow, which dictate the placement of the rural road network. Small, historic clusters of settlement are found at crossroads and valley junctions, most notably Ellisburg, Andrews Settlement, and Reynoldstown. Near the southern edge of the map, Rose Lake sits at the base of the hills, while named high points like Carmer Hill and Ford Hill rise above the surrounding valleys. The road system, including routes like Cemetery Rd and Pump Station Rd, reflects a history of local land use tied to the topography of the Twin Tiers region.
