2019 Map of Lewis Run

About this map

The Allegheny National Forest dominates the landscape of this McKean County survey, where northern Pennsylvania’s deep creek valleys and high ridges dictate the pattern of settlement. Small communities and named locales follow the drainage paths of the W Br Tunungwant Cr and Lewis Run, creating a string of hamlets like Irishtown, Taintor, and Timbuck. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the presence of the Bradford Regional Airport and several burial grounds, including Lafayette Cem and McKean Memorial Park Cem. Roads like Big Shanty Rd and Lafayette Ave wind through the hollows, such as Lewis Hollow and Miam Hollow, connecting these high-elevation clusters. This detailed mapping captures the local transport network near the Arch Bridge, showing how modern aviation and forestry coexist with established town sites like Mount Alton and Riterville.
