About this map

The upper reaches of the Allegheny River wind through Potter County's high country, defining a landscape of narrow valleys and prominent hills. This 2010 survey documents a transition in local geography where the river flows past the small settlements of Colesburg and Frinks. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep hollows named for local families and natural features, including Lent Hollow, Haskell Hollow, and Pigeon Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks preserved, such as the Ford Hill Cemetery in the north and the Sweden Hill Cemetery further south. Near the intersection of Brookland Rd and Route 6, the village of Sweden Valley serves as a local hub. A notable geological curiosity, the Ice Mine, is clearly marked along Ice Mine Rd, highlighting the unique natural history of the region. The map also traces the path of Lyman Creek and the various rural roads that connect these upland communities.
