2016 Map of Portland Mills

About this map

Portland Mills and the western outskirts of Ridgway anchor this section of Elk County, where the Clarion River winds through the southern reaches of the Allegheny National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and forestry roads, including FR 339 and Forest Rd, which provide access to the timberlands and hunting grounds of the Allegheny Plateau. Notable water features like the Ridgway Reservoir and numerous named runs such as Italian Shanty Run, Standing Stone Run, and Bloody Run highlight the region's complex hydrology. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Ott Cem near Evergreen Dr offers a specific point of interest in an area otherwise dominated by the natural topography of the Big Mill Cr and Little Otter Cr valleys.
