1948 Map of Slate Run

About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep valley through the high plateaus of Lycoming and Clinton counties, following a route shared by the New York Central railroad. This 1940s landscape is defined by its drainage network, where local landmarks like the Pump Station Fire Tower overlook a topography of steep hollows and runs. The small settlement of Slate Run serves as the primary hub of human activity, situated where its namesake waterway meets the larger creek gorge. Genealogists and local historians can find a local Cem near the village, while the surrounding townships of Stewardson, Brown, and McHenry are mapped with precision. The map reveals the intricate network of tributaries including Trout Run, Hyner Run, and several numbered hollows like Number Four Hollow Run, illustrating the complex water-carved geography of the Pennsylvania Wilds during the post-war era.
