2023 Map of Galeton

About this map

Galeton serves as the focal point of this Potter County landscape, situated at the confluence of Pine Creek and its western branch. The town’s layout, defined by streets like River St and School St, transitions quickly into the deeply dissected terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. To the south, the settlement of Germania remains a distinct upland community, anchored by the Saint Germain Cem and Germania Cem. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of narrow valleys such as Newcomb Hollow and Leech Hollow, often named for early families. These hollows dictated the placement of small rural burial grounds like Hurd Cem and Byam Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists. The dominance of state forest lands is evident through the Susquehannock State Forest Snowmobile Trails Trl, which winds through the western ridges near Burrows.
