About this map

Allegheny National Forest dominates this section of the Pennsylvania highlands, where the border between Forest and Elk counties meets. The landscape is defined by the branching drainages of the Millstone Creek system, including the W Br Millstone Cr and E Br Millstone Cr. This network of narrow valleys and ridges has historically shaped local settlement, concentrating small communities like Marienville and McCrays along the higher western elevations while leaving the deep woods and wetlands like Buzzard Swamp relatively undeveloped.

Genealogists will note the North Forest Cem near Marienville and the isolated settlement of Loleta to the south. The area's character is heavily tied to its forest resources, indicated by the network of service paths such as US Forestry Rd and Kemp Run Rd. These roads provide access to the interior reaches of Muddy Fork and Sugarcamp Run, highlighting the enduring role of the timber industry and national forest management in Millstone Township.
