About this map

Smethport sits at the confluence of Marvin Creek and Potato Creek in northern Pennsylvania, serving as a focal point for this McKean County landscape. The town’s grid is clearly defined by historical thoroughfares like E Main St and W Main St, while the adjacent East Smethport and the settlement at Farmers Valley to the north highlight the valley’s development pattern. Significant for genealogists and local historians are the established grounds of Rose Hill Cem, Saint Elizabeths Cem, and Smith Cem, which provide tangible links to the area's ancestral residents.

The topography is characterized by a series of narrow valleys and named hollows, including Irish Hollow, Gifford Hollow, and Cloverlot Hollow. Prominent elevations such as The Nipple, Bush Hill, and Prospect Hill surround the town, while the waters of Marvin Creek Lake and numerous tributaries like Blacksmith Run and Pierce Brook illustrate the intricate drainage system that has shaped the region's industry and settlement for generations.
