About this map

Nauvoo and Hartfield anchor this rural landscape along the northern edge of the Tioga Co Lycoming Co line, where the terrain is defined by deep hollows and narrow ridges. Much of the northern portion is occupied by the Tioga State Forest, featuring landforms such as Hickory Ridge and watercourses like Long Run. The settlement pattern follows the creek valleys and the Custard Road corridor, with local landmarks like Beuters Ch and Salem Ch serving the community.

Transportation history is visible in the northwest corner with the Old Babb Railroad Grade, a remnant of the region's former industrial connections. The map also documents a notable Covered Bridge spanning Blockhouse Creek in the southeast. From the Lookout Tower near the eastern boundary to the winding paths of Zimmerman Creek, the survey captures a late-twentieth-century transition where old resource-extraction routes became part of a protected forest landscape.
