About this map

The crossroads community of Scandia sits atop the high ground of Quaker Ridge, serving as a central point for a landscape defined by deep valleys and timbered slopes. Along the northern edge, the settlements of Gouldtown and Cable Hollow follow the drainage patterns that flow toward the state line. Much of the eastern portion of this territory is occupied by the Allegheny National Forest, where the terrain drops sharply into Priest Hollow and toward the winding Cornplanter Run.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several small burial grounds, including Hale Cem, Smith Cem, and the Seven Dolors Cem near the eastern boundary. The map illustrates a network of rural roads such as Scandia Rd and Cobham Park Rd that connect isolated landmarks like Gardners Rocks and Goose Heaven Hill. The presence of the Scandia Air Park indicates modern land use amidst the traditional forest and stream-riven topography of this border region.
