About this map

Harrison Valley and Mills serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of northern Potter County, situated just below the New York state line. The Cowanesque River and its various tributaries, including the North Branch Cowanesque River and Marsh Creek, dictate the movement of the local economy and infrastructure. An Old RR Grade follows the river valley, tracing the path of former rail transport that once connected these rural townships.

Genealogical interest is found in local landmarks such as the Northern Tier Childrens Home and the Northern Potter Sch. The landscape is dotted with family-named hollows and levels, including Big Widger Level and Fay Hollow, reflecting generations of land use. Rural life is further anchored by small burial sites like Schofield Cem and English Cem, while the Lewisville Boro boundary marks the southern edge of the survey's residential detail.
