1945 Map of First Fork

About this map

First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek carves a deep valley through the high plateaus of Grove and Wharton townships at the conclusion of World War II. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, where dozens of named runs like Brooks Run and Lick Island Run flow from steep hollows into the main valley floor. The human presence is concentrated along the narrow riparian corridor, where the settlement of First Fork serves as a small hub.
