2019 Map of Jackson Summit

About this map

Tioga River valleys and the surrounding highlands of the Pennsylvania-New York border define this landscape, where steep hollows like Buckwheat Hollow and Barber Hollow cut through the terrain. The northern edge of the Tioga Reservoir dominates the southwest, while the Appalachian Throughway facilitates modern transit through this rural corridor. Historically significant family burial grounds, including Dickenson Cem, Middaugh Cem, and Tower Hill Cem, are scattered across the high ridges, providing critical touchpoints for genealogical research. Small crossroads communities such as Jackson Summit and Tioga Junction maintain their identities amidst the complex drainage network of Mitchell Creek and Alder Run. The varied elevation, peaking at Tower Hill and Buck Hill, illustrates the transition from river bottomlands to the upland plateaus that characterize the Tioga County borderlands.
