About this map

Ice Mine and the surrounding high terrain of Potter County define this landscape, where the headwaters of the Allegheny River begin their southward journey. Located near the intersection of several valley roads, the small settlement of Sweden Valley serves as a central point between the rising slopes of Sweden Hill and Denton Hill. The area's geography is characterized by a series of narrow hollows named for local families and early inhabitants, including Lent Hollow, Haskell Hollow, and Wambold Hollow.

Transport and water management are closely linked here, with roads like Brookland Rd and N Hollow Rd following the natural contours carved by Lyman Creek and Mill Creek. Further north, the community of Colesburg sits along the upper reaches of the Allegheny, while Lymansville occupies the valley floor near the western edge of the survey. The transition from these inhabited valleys to the steep ridges of Lyon Hill reflects the traditional land-use patterns of north-central Pennsylvania.
