1946 Map of Slate Run

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep path through the plateau in this 1946 field-checked survey, defining the eastern edge of a landscape shaped by narrow hollows and steep ridges. The settlement of Slate Run serves as the primary hub of activity, situated where the Penn Central railroad tracks follow the river's bend. This transportation corridor was essential for the region's timber and industrial history, connecting the isolated interior of the Pine Creek Gorge to wider markets. High above the valley floor, the Pump Station Fire Tower stands as a sentinel over the vast forests of Brown and McHenry townships. The map documents an intricate network of waterways like Trout Run and Hyner Run, alongside several wells and a small landing strip, illustrating a mid-century balance between wild terrain and resource management at the borders of Lycoming and Clinton counties.
