2016 Map of Lynch

About this map

Allegheny National Forest dominates the terrain of this 2016 survey, where the steep valleys of the Pennsylvania highlands are carved by a dense network of waterways. Along the northern edge, Tionesta Creek flows past the small settlements of Hastings and Lynch. The map reveals the area's industrial legacy through the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and several forest roads that likely follow historic timber or transport routes. Further south, the landscape is marked by remote locales such as Pigeon, Byromtown, and Penoke, which sit near the headwaters of Rock Run and Spring Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle also contains Beaver Meadows Lake, a significant water feature within the forest's interior. This map is an essential resource for understanding the contemporary geography and surviving historic place names in this protected forest region.
