2013 Map of Short Run

About this map

Cross Fork and its numerous tributaries define the deeply dissected plateau of Abbott Township in Potter County. This 2013 survey reveals a landscape dominated by narrow valleys, locally known as hollows, which historically served as the primary corridors for settlement and travel. Small hamlets like Short Run and Abbott are situated along these watercourses, often near junctions like Old Cross Fork Creek Rd and Short Run Rd. The terrain is marked by distinctive family-named landmarks such as Bachman Hollow, Knickerbocker Hollow, and Hoover Hollow, reflecting the region's homesteading history.
