About this map

Sheffield stands as the primary industrial and commercial hub of this landscape, situated at the confluence of several major drainages. The Sheffield & Tionesta and Baltimore and Ohio railroads anchor the local economy, connecting timber and resource extraction points along Tionesta Creek and Minister Creek. The presence of multiple CCC Camps during this 1930s survey highlights the era of massive reforestation and conservation efforts within the State Game Preserve.

Smaller settlements and clearings like Cherry Grove, Truemans, and Mayburg are scattered throughout the deep valleys, often centered around a school such as Cherry Grove Sch or Reagan Run Sch. Local history is preserved in family-named landmarks and corners like Deadman Corners, Vandergriff Corners, and Seldom Seen Cors, while the timbering legacy is evident in the numerous (ABANDONED) rail spurs branching into the hollows.
