About this map

Tioga State Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Tioga and Bradford counties, where the high elevations of Armenia Mountain and Huckleberry Mtn give way to a network of steep hollows and narrow creek bottoms. The small settlement of Gleason and the community at North Union serve as the primary points of human activity in the southern reach of the quadrangle. In the northwestern section, the terrain is marked by industrial activity, including several locations noted as Strip Mine near Fall Brook.

The hydrography of the region is defined by the Tioga River and its tributaries, such as the South Branch Tioga River and Sugar Works Run. Local genealogy and social history are preserved in markers like the North Union Ch and the adjacent North Union Cem. Recreational use is also evident at the County Bridge Picnic Area, reflecting the dual use of the state forest lands for both natural resource extraction and public leisure during this era.
