1970 Map of Hillsgrove

About this map

Loyalsock Creek carves a winding path through this corner of the Endless Mountains, defining the geography of the Hillsgrove and Ogdonia communities. The 1970 landscape is dominated by the dense woodlands of the Wyoming State Forest and State Game Lands No 134, where elevations reach their peaks at High Knob and Bear Mtn. The map documents a classic Appalachian mountain economy transitioned to recreation and conservation, featuring the Loyalsock Trail and several scenic overlooks like Hoagland Vista. Along the creek, a Covered Bridge and a Ford near the Sullivan and Lycoming county line mark traditional crossing points. Remote water features such as Angel Falls and Hunters Lake are tucked into the steep drainages of Brunnerdale Run and Pine Run, highlighting the area's intricate network of mountain streams.
