2016 Map of Hazel Hurst

About this map

Mount Jewett and the village of Hazel Hurst anchor this map of McKean County's high country, where the landscape is defined by deep drainage patterns and historic timber-related toponyms. The map tracks the descent from Bishops Summit into a series of deeply carved valleys, including Shingle Mill Hollow and Stone Dock Hollow, which suggest the area's industrial legacy. In the lower reaches, the Cathrine Swamp feeds into Fivemile Run, while the southern boundary follows the McKean and Elk County line. The presence of Railroad Grade Rd near Marvindale provides a look at the former transit routes that once moved resources through these Allegheny plateaus. These topographic details preserve the footprints of 19th-century resource extraction long after the primary mills have moved on.
