About this map

Short Run and Gravel Lick sit at the center of a landscape defined by deep drainages and high vantage points in Potter County. The terrain is marked by a complex network of hollows, such as Ash Tree Hollow and Mud Lick Hollow, that feed into significant watercourses like Cross Fork and Kettle Creek. This area of the Pennsylvania Wilds is punctuated by prominent elevations including Elk Lick Knob and Bunnell Ridge, with established overlooks at Horton Run Vista and Jamison Run Vista offering perspectives over the narrow valleys.

Transportation through the steep geography relies on routes like Old Cross Fork Rd and Hungry Hollow Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream beds. To the southeast, Laurel Bottom provides a rare pocket of flatter ground near the confluence of major runs. The map details a quiet, forested region where small settlements and isolated ridges like Red Ridge remain central to the local geography.
