About this map

The mountain valleys of Tioga and Lycoming Counties define this mid-century survey, where the winding course of Babb Creek serves as a primary corridor for development. The village of Morris stands at a key junction, joined by neighboring Hoytville along the creek banks. This area is characterized by steep ridges like Hickory Ridge and Texas Mountain, with narrow runs and hollows such as Tannery Run and Skunk Hollow cutting through the timbered uplands.

Evidence of local history and industry is visible in the solitary Mine located on Bald Hill and the presence of the Crawford Fire Tower on the southern heights. Small rural settlements like Oregon Hill and Lorenton dot the plateaus, while genealogists can locate family landmarks including Lewis Cem and Antrim Cem. The map captures a landscape defined by its creek-bottom communities and the transition into the high, wooded terrain of Pine and Morris townships.
