About this map

Armenia Mountain and the high plateaus of the Tioga State Forest define this landscape along the Tioga and Bradford County line. The settlement of Gleason and the nearby North Union Church and North Union Cemetery serve as the primary human touchpoints in an otherwise heavily forested and dissected terrain. The map records a complex network of upland drainage, including Sugar Works Run, Fellows Creek, and South Cook Creek, which feed into the larger Tioga River system.

Industrial activity is evident through a prominent Strip Mine and multiple pipelines that cut across the topography, highlighting the region's role in resource extraction and energy transport during the late 20th century. The presence of high-elevation features like Huckleberry Mountain and the Chamberlain Radio Tower underscores the area's isolation and its utility for communication and conservation.
