About this map

The Allegheny River flows through a landscape defined by deep, family-named valleys and high ridges in this 2016 survey of Potter County. The terrain is a network of hollows, including Lent Hollow, Haskell Hollow, and Wambold Hollow, which channel water toward the river and its tributaries like Peet Brook and Lyman Cr. Settlements are concentrated along the primary corridors, with the borough of Coudersport visible at the western edge and the community of Sweden Valley situated at the junction of Mill Cr and Trout Run.

Genealogists will find notable burial grounds such as Sweden Hill Cem and Ford Hill Cem situated on elevated positions overlooking the valleys. The map documents the local transportation network, from established routes like N Hollow Rd to winding forest ways like Teuscher Hill Rd. The prominence of named heights like Sweden Hill and Lyon Hill highlights the significant relief of the Allegheny Plateau as it transitions toward the headwaters of the Susquehanna basin.
