About this map

Moshannon State Forest dominates this landscape on the border of Elk and Clearfield counties, revealing a region defined by natural resource extraction and protected public lands. The 1959 survey, updated in the early 1970s, captures an extensive network of energy infrastructure, with numerous Gas Wells and complex pipelines traversing the ridges. This industrial footprint is interspersed with recreational and conservation areas, including the edge of Parker Dam State Park and the expansive State Game Lands No 94.

Waterways like Medix Run and Saunders Run carve deep valleys through Laurel Ridge, while smaller drainages such as Shaggers Inn Run and Jack Dent Run point to local landmarks and historical naming conventions. Transportation is limited to rugged routes like Caledonia Road and Wallace Road, which connect the isolated mines to larger corridors. Geologists and local historians can trace the intersection of mid-century industrial development and the preservation of Pennsylvania's northern woodlands through features like Panther Rocks and the winding Trout Run.
