About this map

Pine Creek winds through the northern portion of this landscape, defining the corridor where Watrous, Gaines Junction, and Manhattan are situated. The surrounding terrain is a dense network of hollows and ridges, many bearing the names of early inhabitants or local landmarks. Genealogists will find a concentration of family history at the Watrous Family Burial Ground, as well as the Phoenix Cem, Watrous Cem, and Knowlton Cem.

The border between Potter Co and Tioga Co bisects the western reaches of the map, cutting across high ground like Elephant Mountain and Lick Run Hill. The interior is characterized by deep drainages such as Madison Hollow and McCracker Hollow, where local roads like Babylon RD and Strait Run RD provide access to the steep topography. This survey captures a rural Pennsylvania landscape defined by its narrow valley settlements and high forest plateaus.
