2016 Map of Hammersley Fork

About this map

Kettle Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a deep valley that defines the local geography. The small settlements of Hammersley Fork and Leidy are positioned along its banks, serving as quiet hubs for the surrounding drainage basins of Trout Run and Beaverdam Run. The map reveals a densely dissected plateau, where narrow hollows like Beer Keg Hollow and Summerson Hollow lead into the high ridges of Trout Run Mtn and Roundtop. For those researching local families, the Summerson Cem is a notable landmark, while descriptive terrain names such as The Bunk and Oxbow Bend highlight the distinctive natural features that residents used to navigate this corner of north-central Pennsylvania. The extensive network of forest roads, including Montour Rd and Turkey Path Rd, illustrates the area's continued reliance on the valleys for transit and access.
