About this map

Grover and the high ridge settlements of northern Pennsylvania are captured here at the triple-county junction of Bradford, Lycoming, and Sullivan. This landscape is defined by its deep drainages and narrow valley bottoms, where Towanda Cr and Schrader Cr carve through the plateau. A clear legacy of the region's industrial past is visible in the network of timbering and mountain roads, most notably Old Railroad Grade Rd, which traces the winding path of a former narrow-gauge line once vital to the logging camps and tanneries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Small mountain hamlets like Ellenton and Masten persist near protected lands, while family-named landmarks like Rutty Cem and Tompkins Corners Vista provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The geography is marked by dramatic terrain features such as Devils Elbow and the steep slopes of Ellenton Mountain Rd, illustrating the challenges faced by early settlers and loggers moving through these high-elevation woods.
