2013 Map of Norwich

About this map

Norwich is situated at the western edge of this territory where Potato Cr and its tributaries carve a network of deep valleys through the McKean County highlands. The landscape is defined by its industrial and naming history, notably the presence of Railroad Run, which hints at former timber or resource transport routes that once dominated these narrow hollows. Numerous family-named landmarks and geographic features such as McAllister Hollow, O'Brien Hollow, and Keesler Hollow suggest a legacy of early settlement and land ownership in this portion of Liberty Township. High points like Jay Cox Hill and Evans Hill overlook a drainage system where Hamlin Run and Lyman Run feed into the E Br Potato Cr. The topographic detail preserves the precise locations of secluded spots like Stone Chimney Hollow, providing a clear look at the area's physical geography before modern development or forest reclamation changed the character of these remote Pennsylvania creek beds.
