About this map

Morris and Hoytville serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century survey of the high plateau and deeply incised valleys along the Tioga and Lycoming county line. The rail-and-timber history of the region is evident in the path of the Erie-Lackawanna railroad, which follows the winding course of Babb Creek through the center of the quadrangle. High points like Tannery Hill and Texas Mountain overlook a landscape carved by numerous runs and hollows, including Stony Fork and Wilson Creek.

Social and civic centers are scattered throughout the hills, including the Mt Pleasant Church and the remote settlement of Oregon Hill near the southern border. Genealogists can locate family resting places at Antrim Cemetery and Lewis Cemetery, while the Crawford Fire Tower stands as a landmark on the southern heights. The 1971 revisions, marked in purple, track the evolving road network like Rattler Road and Brooks Hill Road as they navigate the steep terrain between Bald Hill and The Horn.
