1971 Map of Short Run

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Cross Fork and Kettle Creek carve deep valleys through the high plateaus of Potter County, defining a landscape of narrow hollows and steep ridges like Bunnell Ridge and Hogback Ridge. The small settlements of Short Run and Abbott sit at the junction of mountain streams, where the drainage patterns of the E Fork Sinnemahoning meet the complex network of "runs" that feed the regional rivers. The presence of the Splash Dam Trail in the northwest corner suggests the historical legacy of the lumber industry, where dams once controlled water flow to move timber downstream. Local landmarks like Elk Lick Knob and Pine Hill rise above numerous family-named and descriptive features, including Twin Sisters Hollows, Mud Lick Hollow, and Gravel Lick, reflecting a rural mountain geography deeply rooted in 19th and early 20th-century land use.
