1947 Map of Marshlands

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The northern edge of the Potter Co Tioga Co boundary reveals a landscape defined by deep valleys and high plateaus, where the community of Watrous sits along the banks of Pine Creek. In the mid-20th century, these valleys served as critical corridors for small settlements like Marshlands and Manhattan, which were linked by winding roads tracing the base of massive landforms such as Elephant Mtn. The naming conventions of the hollows, including Acid Factory Hollow and Gas Well Hollow, provide a direct window into the early industrial activities and extraction history of this part of Pennsylvania.
