1994 Map of Lee Fire Tower

About this map

Lee Fire Tower overlooks the meeting point of three major Pennsylvania state forests, marking a landscape defined by deep ravines and timber management. The terrain is divided by the borders of Potter, Tioga, and Lycoming counties, with drainage networks including Kettle Creek and Cedar Run carving through the plateau. This 1994 update reveals a landscape used for both resource extraction and recreation, featuring a Clay Mine near the Lycoming county line and a remote Landing Strip in the south. The mapping of the Tiadaghton State Forest, Susquehannock State Forest, and Tioga State Forest shows a massive contiguous protected area interlaced with forest roads like Sliders Road and historical corridors such as the Pipeline Road. These trails and roads, including the Cushman Trail and Fill Trestle Trail, follow the natural contours of ridges like Buck Ridge and the winding paths of numerous runs and hollows.
