About this map

Harrison Valley and the neighboring settlement of Mills sit along the winding path of the Cowanesque River in this modern topographic study of northern Pennsylvania and southern New York. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with high points such as White Knoll and Dennis Hill rising above deeply carved drainages like Swartz Hollow and Dodge Hollow Run. To the south, a significant portion of the terrain is protected within the Susquehannock State Forest, highlighting the region's transition from agricultural river valleys to densely timbered uplands.

The headwaters of the Genesee River and California Cr occupy the southwest corner, illustrating the continental divide that separates the watershed flowing toward the Great Lakes from that of the Susquehanna. Local family history is etched into the landscape through features like Bailey Hill and numerous named hollows, including Lehman Hollow and Baldwin Hollow, which reflect generations of settlement along the rural road network connecting Whites Corners to the river valley.
