About this map

Elk State Park and the waters of East Branch Clarion River Lake dominate this northern Elk County landscape. The lake is formed behind the East Branch Clarion River Lake Dam, a major engineering feature that transformed the valley floor. Settlement is concentrated along the western edge and southern reaches, including the small communities of Glen Hazel, Instanter, and Rasselas.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of the Holy Cross Cemetery near Midmont, as well as the numerous named hollows such as Whittaker Hollow and Naval Hollow that reflect local family naming traditions. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of waterways including the Middle Fork East Branch Clarion River and Crooked Creek, while higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Pistner Hill and North Fork Summit.
