1947 Map of Lee Fire Tower

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Lee Fire Tower anchors this high-elevation landscape where the borders of Potter, Tioga, and Lycoming counties meet. Historically defined by its timber and watershed management, the terrain is carved by deep hollows like Prying Pan Hollow and Indian Bill Hollow, leading down to major waterways such as Kettle Creek and Francis Branch. This 1947 survey shows a region deeply integrated with forest maintenance and transport, evidenced by the extensive network of fire roads and trails including the Brackman Trail and Cushman Trail. A small Clay Mine and a remote Landing Strip near Francis Fork suggest a mix of natural resource extraction and early aviation access in this isolated stretch of the Commonwealth. The presence of the Fill Trestle Trail points toward the area's logging railroad heritage, where infrastructure was built to span the sharp drainage of Slate Run.
