2013 Map of Potter Brook

About this map

The Cowanesque River valley anchors this Tioga County landscape, where the borough of Westfield serves as the primary center of activity. The river's path is paralleled by Route 49, connecting smaller settlements like Potter Brook and Elmer through the southern half of the quadrangle. To the north, the terrain transitions into a dense network of timbered ridges and narrow valleys, historically identified by numerous named hollows such as Mink Hollow, Kocher Hollow, and Shingle Shanty Hollow. Small rural crossroads like Sylvester and Brookfield suggest a long history of upland farming and homesteading away from the river floor.
