About this map

Catherine Creek State Park anchors the southwestern portion of this Union County landscape, where the terrain transitions from the low-lying High Valley into the forested uplands of the Blue Mountains. The drainage system of Little Catherine Creek and its many tributaries, such as Lick Creek and Dobbin Creek, defines the local geography. Human passage and early water management are evident in the presence of the Elmer Ditch and primitive routes like Merry-Go-Round Rd.

Named clearings and high points provide specific markers for land-use history, including Billy Small Meadow and Little Catherine Meadows. These open spaces contrast with the prominent peaks of Bald Mountain, South Baldy, and the lookout potential at Crib Point. The map also identifies local recreational points of interest, such as the North Fork Picnic Area, reflecting the area's ongoing role as a managed forest and public parkland.
