About this map

Pine Creek Gorge dominates the eastern half of this landscape, carved by the waters of Pine Creek as it flows past the small settlement of Jersey Mills. The area shows a transition from the river-level valley to the high plateaus of the Tiadaghton State Forest and Sproul State Forest, accessed by early mountain routes like the Old Coudersport Road. Traces of local industry and community life appear in the form of Quarries and the Haneyville Ch and its adjacent Cem.

The western portion of the sheet is defined by the State Game Lands No 89 and the high ridges of Huntley Mountain, where a Lookout Tower marks a high vantage point. The Penn Central rail line follows the winding course of the creek, illustrating the critical role of the river corridor for transportation through this part of Lycoming and Clinton counties. Numerous runs, such as Little Wolf Run and Upper Pine Bottom Run, drain the wooded hills into the main gorge.
