About this map

Harrison Valley serves as a primary local hub along the Cowanesque River, where it meets the North Branch Cowanesque River near the border between Potter County, Pennsylvania, and Steuben County, New York. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, with the settlements of Mills and North Fork situated along narrow valley floors. These communities are connected by a system of rural roads like Genesee Mills Rd and Harrison Fox Hill Rd that navigate the steep elevation changes characteristic of this region.

Water drainage plays a significant role in the local geography, with the Genesee River rising in the southwest near Ulysses and Bailey Hill. The abundance of named terrain features, such as Dodge Hollow, Swartz Hollow, and Lehman Hollow, reflects a long history of local naming conventions for the many tributary ravines. This topography has historically dictated the winding paths of roads like Dodge Hollow Rd and Lehman Hollow Rd as they follow the natural breaks in the land.
