About this map

Emporium sits at the confluence where Sinnemahoning Portage Creek joins the Driftwood Branch Sinnemahoning Creek, serving as a central hub for Cameron County. The settlement pattern here is defined by deep, narrow valleys and the numerous family-named landmarks that line them, including Sears Hollow, Arnold Hollow, and Catlin Hollow. Significant for genealogical research, the map identifies local burial grounds such as Newton Cemetery and Saint Marks Cemetery near the town center.

Industry and transport are represented by Emporium Junction and several water management features, including the Salt Run Reservoir and Sizerville Park Dam. To the north, the small community of Sizerville and the higher elevation of Doll Hill mark the transition toward more remote drainage basins like East Branch Cowley Run and West Branch Cowley Run. The landscape is heavily dissected by named drainages, reflecting the complex topography of the Pennsylvania wilds.
