About this map

Slate Run serves as the primary outpost in this 1946 study of the Lycoming, Clinton, and Potter county borders. Set deep within the northern Pennsylvania highlands, the settlement is positioned along the narrow corridor where Pine Creek flows through the steep Gorge. This valley also hosts the New York Central railroad, which follows the winding river's edge through some of the state's most isolated forest land.

A network of drainage branches, including Little Slate Run and Naval Run, cut through the high plateaus of Stewardson, Brown, and McHenry townships. On the higher elevations, the Pump Station Fire Tower marks a peak over 2,100 feet, providing a focal point for forest management and fire observation in an era when logging and resource protection defined the regional economy. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks like the Cem near the river and numerous named hollows like Mussina Hollow and Slide Hollow.
