About this map

Tiadaghton State Forest covers the northern reaches of this Lycoming County terrain, where the Loyalsock Creek carves through the landscape near Bar Bottom Hollow. The geography is defined by a series of parallel ridges including Allegheny Ridge and Tarkiln Ridge, which separate the rugged forest lands from the agricultural valleys to the south. Small settlements like Huntersville and Fairfield Center serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural roads and an old Old Barbours Road.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered country churches and burial grounds, such as Huntersville Trinity Cem and the Church of the Good Shepherd Cem. These landmarks, along with the Grange Hall in the south and various camps like Camp Conley, reflect the mid-century social fabric of these township communities. The transition from the high points at Smiths Knob and Long Ridge Lookout Tower down to the creek beds of Mill Creek illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Allegheny Plateau.
