About this map

Loyalsock Creek winds through the northern reaches of this Lycoming County landscape, cutting beneath Smiths Knob and the Allegheny Ridge. The map documents a rural Pennsylvania community where the deep valleys of Tiadaghton State Forest meet the agricultural plateaus of the south. Settlement is concentrated around crossroads like Huntersville and Fairfield Center, with social life anchored by landmarks such as the Grange Hall and several local congregations including Heilman Ch and the Church of the Good Shepherd.

The topography is defined by sharp ridges and numerous watercourses like Mill Creek and Wolf Run. Notable infrastructure from the mid-20th century is evident, including a Pumping Station and a Lookout Tower on Long Ridge, alongside recreational features like Ski Lifts near Huntersville. This 1965 survey, updated in the mid-1980s, preserves the footprint of small Lycoming County townships before modern development further altered these traditional highland communities.
