2016 Map of English Center

About this map

Little Pine Creek carves a deep valley through the high ridges of northern Lycoming County, creating a landscape defined by steep drafts and winding hollows. The settlement of English Center serves as a focal point where the historic English Center Suspension Bridge spans the water, connecting the community to the network of winding forest roads. To the west, the smaller hamlet of Carsontown sits near Carsontown Cem and Otter Run, while Brookside occupies the southern reach along the Second Fork Larrys Cr. The terrain is marked by distinctive local nomenclature reflecting early timbering and land use, seen in names like Jake Shanty Ridge, Shingle Mill Br, and Schoolhouse Hollow. These family-named landmarks and remote hollows, such as Yutdmark Hollow and Jack Cammels Camp Run, provide an intricate look at the geography of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
