About this map

Westfield serves as the primary hub of this northern Pennsylvania landscape, situated at the confluence of the Cowanesque River and Addison Creek. The community is marked by its industrial and civic infrastructure, including sludge pits, a high school, and the borough boundary. A network of railroads, including the Penn Central and the W A & G, follow the river valley, tracing the transport corridor that linked these highland settlements.

Rural life is evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Mt Pleasant Cemetery, Champlin Cem, and Plank Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep hollows, including Mink Hollow, Shingle Shanty Hollow, and Hancock Hollow, which define the drainage patterns into the North Fork and Potter Brook. Local aviation is represented by the Maico Airfield in the northeast, while the Television Relay Station on a high ridge reflects mid-century utility development in Tioga Co.
