About this map

Sinnemahoning Creek and its major tributary, the First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, dictate the movement and settlement patterns of this Pennsylvania landscape. The convergence of these waters near Wyside and Jericho serves as a central hub for transportation, where the Sinnemahoning Creek valley carries both the rail line along Railroad St and the primary road network. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous hollows and drafts, such as Riddles Hollow and Smoke Draft, which historically constrained development to the narrow valley floors.

Local genealogy is anchored by small, riverside burial grounds including Miller Run Cem, Crum Cem, and Wyside Cem. While the settlement of Driftwood sits on the western edge, the map documents the intricate network of forest roads and runs, like Wyckoff Run and Arksill Run, that suggest a legacy of timbering and resource extraction. The boundary between Cameron Co and Clinton Co bisects the southeastern portion, following the high ridges above the water gaps.
