About this map

Dagus Mines and the nearby settlement of Coal Hollow anchor the northwestern portion of this Elk County landscape, reflecting the region's industrial heritage. The terrain is defined by significant ridges and drainages, including Boone Mountain and Jack Pine Ridge, which channel numerous small runs toward larger waterways like Little Toby Cr and Bennett Br Sinnemahoning Cr. Small communities and named crossroads such as Earlyville, Paine, and Fairview are connected by a network of local roads including Dagus Mines Rd and Gillen Crossing Rd, following the contours of the high ground.

In the southeast, the settlements of Byrnedale, Cardiff, and Force sit along the valley floors, highlighting a distribution of residency dictated by the narrow hollows and creek beds. Features like Auman Hollow and Horseshoe Bend Hollow illustrate the deeply incised nature of the plateau, while the presence of the Old RR label suggests the historical importance of rail transport for moving timber or coal through these hills.
