About this map

Ansonia and the surrounding highlands of Tioga County are defined by the deep incision of the Pine Creek Gorge, a major topographical feature that dominates the western half of this survey. The settlement of Tiadaghton sits at a narrow point in the gorge, while Colton Point offers a overlook of the valley where Pine Creek is joined by numerous steep tributaries like Owassee Slide Run and Bear Run. This landscape is a mix of high-plateau agriculture and timbered hollows, with rural life centered on small hamlets like Kennedy and Olmsville.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community resting places, including the Ansonia Cem, Kennedy Cem, and the Bacon Family Burial Ground Cem. The area’s aviation history is represented by the Wellsboro Johnston Airport in the northeast near Dexter. The drainage patterns, from the Middle Ridge Swamp to Marsh Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology that shaped the roads and settlement sites of this northern Pennsylvania region.
