USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Pine Creek and the West Branch anchor this Potter County landscape, where deep valleys and timbered ridges dictate the path of early industry and transport. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad snakes through the gorge, serving the borough of Galeton and smaller stops like Germania Sta and Lymans Run Sta. These stations and the presence of Acid Factory Hol suggest a region deeply tied to the wood chemical and lumbering economies of the late 1940s.
