1948 Map of Rich Valley

About this map

Sinnemahoning Creek carves a deep valley through the township of Shippen and the surrounding highlands of Cameron and McKean Counties in this mid-century topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, where countless runs and hollows such as Waldy Run and Sixmile Hollow feed into the larger watercourses. Small settlements and local landmarks dot the valleys, including the hamlet of Lockwood and the North Creek Chapel, while the Pennsylvania railroad line follows the contours of the creek beds to navigate the steep terrain.
