1949 Map of Short Run

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Deep ravines and narrow ridges define this 1940s landscape in Potter County, where the settlement at Short Run sits at the junction of several mountain drainages. The map records a complex network of upland tracks and paths, including the Splash Dam Trail and Twin Sisters Trail, which navigate the steep terrain between S Fork Sinnemahoning and Kettle Creek. The density of named hollows, such as Knickerbocker Hol and Black Mark Hollow, reflects an era when these secondary drainages were critical for local navigation and small-scale resource extraction. Surveyed shortly after World War II, the map highlights topographical landmarks like Elk Lick Knob and Keeney Mtn, illustrating the transition from traditional woodcraft trails to the established forest roads of the mid-twentieth century.
