1947 Map of Lee Fire Tower

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The rugged topography of the Pennsylvania northern tier is deeply etched into this 1947 landscape, where the Lee Fire Tower stands as a primary sentinel over the heavily wooded plateau. High ridges like Cushman Ridge and Chestnut Ridge define the steep-sided valleys of Kettle Creek and Slate Run. The map reveals a specialized upland economy dependent on forestry and isolation, evidenced by a network of logging roads and paths such as Cushman Road, Brackman Trail, and Apple Tree Trail. A curious Landing Strip is positioned on the high ground near the Potter and Lycoming county line, reflecting mid-century utility in a region otherwise dominated by mountain drainage like Indian Bill Run and Francis Fork. The placement of Sliders Dam on the upper reaches of Cherry Run suggests early water management or industrial remnants within these remote forest districts.
