About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep valley through the northern section of this Tioga County landscape, where the small communities of Watrous, Gaines Junction, and Manhattan are situated along the Rte 6 corridor. The geography is defined by a dense network of steep hollows and high points like Elephant Mtn and Hedgehog Point. In the southern half, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as the headwaters of Kettle Creek and Cedar Run emerge from a labyrinth of drainages including Chaffee Run and Billings Branch.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several small burial grounds scattered among the ridges, such as Phoenix Cem, Maynard Cem, and the Nolton-Knowlton-Elk Run Cemetery. These sites, along with names like Acid Factory Hollow and Gas Well Hollow, hint at the industrial history of the region. The map also detail numerous timbering and access routes, including Leetonia Road and Mackraken Road, which navigate the high divides between the creek systems.
