1994 Map of English Center

About this map

English Center sits at the confluence of several mountain waterways, where Little Pine Creek meets Texas Creek and English Run. This 1994 photoinspection of the Lycoming County highlands reveals a landscape dominated by public conservation and extractive industry. Massive tracts of State Game Lands No 75 and the Tiadaghton State Forest wrap around the steep drainages of Lick Run and Otter Run, while numerous Strip Mines on the high ridges of Brown Ridge and Chestnut Ridge indicate the area's continued reliance on coal resources. Genealogy researchers can locate remote burial grounds including Carsontown Cem and Dowling Hill Cem, which remain as markers of small settlements like Carsontown and Brookside. The map also details the southern extent of Little Pine Park, noting areas subject to inundation by the Little Pine Dam.
