About this map

English Center sits at the confluence of several mountain streams in northern Lycoming County, serving as a focal point for this 1965 survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Pine Creek as it carves through deep valleys like Schoolhouse Hollow and Jake Shanty Run. This area of the Tiadaghton State Forest and State Game Lands No 75 was once a center of resource extraction, evidenced by various Strip Mines and a Quarry dotting the ridges of Chestnut Ridge and Flatiron.

Small settlements such as Carsontown and Brookside represent the local habitation of the era, supported by infrastructure like the Schoolhouse and family burial sites including Dowling Hill Cem and Carsontown Cem. The presence of several backcountry paths, including McKees Trail and Love Run Trail, highlights the transition of the region from active timbering and mining towards recreation and conservation during the mid-20th century.
