2010 Map of Jackson Summit

About this map

Lawrenceville and East Lawrence sit at the northern edge of this landscape where the Tioga River flows toward the state line. The area is defined by a network of small creeks and hollows, including Smith Creek and Buckwheat Hollow, which cut through the uplands. Further south, the Tioga Dam holds back the waters of the Tioga Reservoir, a significant modification to the drainage of Bentley Creek and Mitchell Creek. The map reveals a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the rural borderlands, with clusters at Jackson Summit and Tioga Junction. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Dickenson Cemetery and Maple Ridge Cemetery, which are scattered among the ridges like Gobblers Knob and Tower Hill. The transition from river valley to high ground is traced by old routes like Mutton Lane Creek and the path of the Tioga River Rd.
