About this map

Westfield and the neighboring settlement of Potter Brook anchor this northern Pennsylvania landscape where the Cowanesque River carves a deep valley through the high country. The topography is defined by a dense network of steep drainages including Hancock Hollow, Mink Hollow, and Rexford Hollow, revealing a rural settlement pattern that remains closely tied to the available flat land along the river and its tributaries.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites across the terrain, from Metcalf Cem on the northern hills to the Swimley Cem in the southeast corner. Transportation is concentrated in the valley floor, with W Main St and E Main St serving as the primary corridor through the village centers. The presence of Swift Aero Field on a plateau near Purple Brook highlights a modern adaptation to the otherwise undulating forest and farmland that straddles the Potter and Tioga county line.
