2023 Map of Norwich

About this map

High elevations in the Allegheny Plateau define this section of McKean County, where East Branch Potato Creek and its many tributaries carve a network of deep hollows. The terrain is characterized by prominent rises such as Evans Hill and Jay Cox Hill, which overlook a landscape dominated by timber and natural resources. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern road network, including Rte 46 and numerous forest tracks like Scaffold Lick Rd and Dividing Ridge Rd. Names like Stone Chimney Hollow and Keesler Hollow suggest a history of early settlement and resource extraction, while Lyman Run and Scaffold Lick Run drain the complex ridgelines. The map provides a contemporary view of the topography, showing how historical paths and watercourses continue to shape movement through this part of Pennsylvania.
