About this map

Smethport serves as a focal point of this McKean County landscape, where the confluence of Marvin Creek and Potato Creek helped define the valley's development. The town's civic identity is anchored by the McKean County Courthouse, while local history is etched into the surrounding hillsides at several burial sites, including Rose Hill Cem and the McKean County Farm Cem.

The terrain is marked by numerous narrow valleys and hollows that reflect a deeply dissected plateau, such as Irish Hollow, Gifford Hollow, and the curiously named The Nipple. Transportation routes follow the natural contours of the land, with the Smethport Farmers Valley Rd connecting the main borough to the smaller settlement of Farmers Valley. This modern survey illustrates how traditional land use, from the residential grids of East Smethport to the more isolated farmsteads in Cloverlot Hollow, continues to adapt to the region's steep topography.
