About this map

Sweden Valley and the surrounding high country of Potter County are defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges that feed the headwaters of the Allegheny River. This 2019 survey captures a landscape where small settlements like Colesburg and Frinks are linked by winding roads that trace the natural contours of the narrow valleys. The topography is deeply etched with family-named features such as Haskell Hollow, Kohler Hollow, and Gross Hollow, reflecting generations of land use and local identity.

Genealogists can find important landmarks for family research, including the Ford Hill Cem and Sweden Hill Cem. The southeastern corner of the map features the elevation of Denton Hill and the headwaters of Trout Run, while the western edge reaches the outskirts of Coudersport. The drainage patterns, from S Br Oswayo Cr in the northwest to Lyman Cr in the south, illustrate the area's role as a significant watershed in the Allegheny Plateau.
