1946 Map of Slate Run

About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep valley through this northern Lycoming County landscape, where the settlement of Slate Run serves as a small hub of activity at the confluence of State Run. The topography is defined by an intricate network of hollows and branches, including Number Four Hollow and Cannon Hole Hollow, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Allegheny Plateau. The industrial and transit infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident through the presence of the Penn Central line following the riverbank and a high-elevation Pump Station Fire Tower situated on a ridge near the Clinton County line. This 1946 survey, with later 1970s revisions, highlights a transition in land use from traditional mountain industry toward early modern resource management, as seen in the scattered Well sites and a remote Landing Strip appearing among the timbered reaches of Brown, Mchenry, and Chapman townships.
