1959 Map of Pottersdale

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a deep, winding path through this central Pennsylvania landscape, marking the confluence of several mountain runs and county lines. While much of the terrain is defined by the expansive reaches of Elk State Forest, Moshannon State Forest, and Sproul State Forest, the mid-20th-century economy is visible through the extensive networks of any Strip Mine scattered across the plateaus. The small settlement of Pottersdale sits at a geographic crossroads near the center of the sheet, while the Penn Central railroad follows the river's northern bank, passing the Coleman Siding. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks such as Oak Hill Ch and the Canoe Cem, as well as the Three Runs Lookout Tower perched atop the high ridges of Gibson and Grove.
