About this map

Sinnemahoning Creek and its major tributary, the First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, dictate the movement and settlement of this Pennsylvania landscape. The valley floor hosts small communities like Jericho and Wyside, where the topography allows for roads like Old Sinnamahoning Rd and Railroad St. A Water Gauge along the main creek indicates the hydrological importance of this drainage system to the region.

The surrounding steep-sided drainages, often referred to as drafts or hollows, suggest a history of resource extraction and secluded homesteading. Family-named landmarks such as Riddles Hollow and the Miller Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogical research. Distinctive terrain names like Bog Ore Hollow hint at the area's early industrial or mineral history, while numerous runs, including Wykoff Run and Moccasin Run, carve out the deep valleys that define the Clinton and Cameron county border.
