2016 Map of First Fork

About this map

First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek carves a deep valley through the high plateau of the Potter and Cameron border, anchoring a landscape of narrow hollows and steep ridges. The 2016 geography of this region is defined by the George B Stevenson Reservoir and a network of named drafts and runs, including Lushbaugh Run and Brooks Run. Small settlements such as First Fork and Lushbaugh are situated along the valley floor, while names like Barrett Slide and Owl Hollow reflect the topographic character of the surrounding terrain. Genealogists can identify several burial sites tucked into the hillsides, including Gilmore Cem, Smith Cem, and Grove Hill Cem near Grove Hill. The map also details an extensive system of forest roads and trails, such as the Ridge Trl and Lick Island Forest Rd, which navigate the high ground between Upper Logue Hollow and Bear Trap Hollow.
