About this map

Deep incisions of the Pennsylvania Wilds define this landscape, where the Cross Fork river and Kettle Creek navigate a dense network of hollows and ridges. This modern survey illustrates the conservation-focused character of the region, anchored by the Susquehannock Trail System Tri and the Susquehannock State Forest Snowmobile Trails Tri. Small settlements such as Short Run and Gravel Lick sit at the confluence of creek beds and forest roads, while high-altitude landmarks like Elk Lick Knob and Stony Peak overlook the narrow valleys below.

Transportation here is primarily recreational and forestry-driven, with named routes like Horton Run Rd and Old Bull Rd connecting remote vistas. Notable points of interest for those tracking local geography include Jamison Run Vista and Horton Run Vista, which offer perspectives on the complex topography of Bachman Hollow, Mink Hollow, and Hungry Hollow. The map serves as a contemporary record of how timbering roads and hiking trails have integrated into the old waterway corridors of Potter County.
