1946 Map of Tamarack

About this map

Kettle Creek carves a deep valley through the northern reaches of this terrain, marking the boundary where Potter Co meets Clinton Co. The settlement of Cross Fork serves as a focal point in the north, while the southern landscape is dominated by the sprawling Tamarack Swamp and the elevated Tamarack Lookout Tower. This high-relief topography, defined by ridges like Big Ridge and summits such as Dykes Peak, illustrates the rugged drainage patterns of north-central Pennsylvania. Geographers and local historians will note the concentration of family-named landmarks and hollows, including Clarey Run and Stewarts Run, which indicate the long-standing ties between small mountain communities and the surrounding watersheds. The presence of Laurel Hill Cem near the river bend provides a specific touchstone for genealogical research in this isolated upland region.
