About this map

Loyalsock Creek carves a deep valley through the high plateaus of Sullivan County, defining the settlement patterns of this mountain landscape. The community of Hillsgrove sits at the confluence of the creek and Slab Run, while the smaller settlement of Ogdonia is located to the south near the mouth of Kettle Cr. These villages were historically tied to the timber and tanning industries, evidenced by the numerous named runs and branches that drain the surrounding heights.

Elevations rise sharply to landmarks like High Knob and Bear Mtn, where the terrain is marked by remote features such as Slab Run Swamp and Spook Swamp. Along the northern ridges, Hoagland Vista and High Bridge overlook the winding Hoagland Br, while the southeastern corner includes the secluded Hunters Lake. A network of rural roads, including Dry Run Rd and Ogdonia Rd, connects these isolated valleys across the Sullivan and Lycoming county line.
