About this map

Little Brokenstraw Creek carves a central valley through this borderland where New York and Pennsylvania meet. The settlement of Lottsville serves as a focal point for the surrounding uplands, connected to Bear Lake in the northwest and Wrightsville to the south by a network of rural roads such as Lottsville Niobe Rd and Rte 6. The landscape is defined by its numerous rocky outcrops, including Pikes Rocks and Brooks Rocks, which stand as prominent landmarks above the drainage basins of Swamp Run and Blue Eye Run.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds. The map preserves the locations of several cemeteries, such as Brooks Hill Cem and Turnpike Cem, tucked away on hillsides like Danelson Hill. The persistent rural character of the region is evident in the naming of many thoroughfares, including Happy Town Rd and Sears Hill Rd, reflecting generations of local habitation along the winding tributaries of Stillwater Cr.
