About this map

Tiadaghton State Forest covers the northern half of this mid-1960s landscape, where Loyalsock Creek carves a path through the high ridges of Allegheny Ridge and Red Ridge. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and rugged topography, including Smiths Knob and Dickey Knob. This area transition from the steep forest heights to the agricultural valleys of Upper Fairfield and Muncy townships.

Rural life in these valleys is anchored by historic community sites such as the Grange Hall and several local congregations, including Heilman Ch and the Church of the Good Shepherd. Small settlements like Huntersville and Fairfield Center serve as focal points for the dispersed farmsteads, while the Long Ridge Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the vast wooded tracts. The map captures a moment when traditional land use, from hunting camps to hilltop farms, remained the primary character of this Lycoming County region.
