1994 Map of Hammersley Fork

About this map

Kettle Creek defines the valley floor of this northern Pennsylvania landscape, where the settlements of Hammersley Fork and Leidy are established along its winding course. The topography is dominated by the steep ridges of the Pennsylvania Wilds, with significant tracts of land managed as the Susquehannock State Forest and Sproul State Forest. A dramatic horseshoe loop at Oxbow Bend highlights the creek's erosive power through the plateau, while the southern portion of the map includes the recreation areas of Kettle Creek State Park. Local history is anchored by markers of early community life, such as the Central Sch and the Summerson Cem. Numerous named hollows and branches, including Tate Hollow and Wykoff Branch, detail the complex drainage system that feeds the main waterway, reflecting the timber and wilderness heritage of Clinton County.
