2019 Map of Holbrook

About this map

Holbrook and Woodruff sit at the center of this dissected plateau landscape in Greene County, where deep-cut valleys dictate the settlement patterns. The historic Warrior Trail traverses the ridges from east to west, cutting across the drainages of Hargus Cr and Toms Run. This network of small communities including Bluff, Buzz, and Pine Bank is connected by winding valley roads that follow the winding paths of Hoovers Run and Blockhouse Run. Local history is preserved in numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Macedonia Cem and Roseberry Cem. The abundance of named runs—such as Falling Timber Run and Garner Run—illustrates the intricate hydrology of this rural Pennsylvania borderland, while the absence of heavy industry at this date highlights a landscape defined by small-scale crossroads and traditional Appalachian land use.
