About this map

Pine Creek Gorge dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the New York Central railroad follows the winding river corridor. The map reveals a transition between the dense timberlands of Tiadaghton State Forest and the Sproul State Forest, punctuated by small clusters of settlement at Jersey Mills and Haneyville. Human activity is primarily centered along the ridge tops and valley floors, connected by historic routes like the Old Coudersport Pike.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the small mountain communities, including Haneyville Ch and the rural cemetery nearby. The presence of Quarries and a Lookout Tower speaks to the industrial and conservation efforts within the Cummings and McHenry townships. Numerous mountain runs, such as English Run and Upper Pine Bottom Run, carve deep into the plateau, illustrating the dramatic topography of the North Central Pennsylvania highlands.
