2011 Map of Lynch

About this map

Tionesta Creek winds through the northern portion of this landscape, connecting the small settlements of Hastings and Lynch. The map reveals a legacy of transit and resource extraction, notably preserved in the Old Railroad Grade that parallels the creek near Lynch. Further south, the terrain is defined by numerous watercourses including Bluejay Creek and Salmon Creek, which feeds into Beaver Meadows Lake near the Beaver Meadows Dam. Local activity is concentrated at small crossroads and family-named points like Watson Farm, Iron City, and Byromtown. The presence of the Blue Jay Spring Recreation Area and numerous forest roads such as Job Corps Rd and Goat Farm Rd suggests a landscape managed for both timber and outdoor recreation, where the names of small runs and hollows like Lindsey Hollow provide critical clues for local genealogy.
