About this map

Ellisburg and Andrews Settlement anchor this 1969 topographic portrait of the rural hills along the Pennsylvania-New York border. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of two major watersheds: the Genesee River flowing north and Oswayo Creek trending southwest. This era in Potter County is marked by extensive energy infrastructure, visible through numerous Gas Wells and an expansive Underground Storage Field near Reynoldstown.

Tracing the valleys reveals the remnants of earlier industrial transport, specifically the Old Railroad Grade that winds through Hemlock Hollow. Small social centers like Lewis Corner and Kinney appear alongside local landmarks such as Union Ch and its adjacent Cem. The map also captures the rugged relief of the region, featuring named peaks like Carmer Hill and Rae Hill, alongside water features like Rose Lake and Redwater Creek.
