About this map

The winding waters of Kettle Creek anchor this topographic view of the north-central Pennsylvania highlands along the border of Potter and Clinton counties. In the small community of Hammersley Fork, the landscape is defined by steep hollows and narrow valleys where Trout Run meets the main creek. Local genealogy and history are preserved in several family and community sites, including Gospel Camp Cem, Summerson Cem, New Maple Grove Cem, and McCoy Cem near the settlement of Leidy.

A network of specialized trails, such as the Susquehanna State Forest Snowmobile Trails Trl and Whiskey Springs Trails Trl, reflects the area's transition to a recreation-focused landscape within the state forest system. Distinctive geographic landmarks like the Oxbow Bend and the flat land of Hoover Btm provide a contrast to the high elevations of Trout Run Mountain and Fork Hill. The map also traces various timber-era infrastructure, including Wykoff-Branch and numerous logging-road hollows.
