About this map

Pine Creek Gorge dominates this landscape, carved deeply between the plateaus of Shippen and Delmar townships. The New York Central railroad tracks follow the winding floor of the canyon, tracing the path of Pine Creek past isolated points like Owassee and Stone. The uplands show a more settled pattern, with the Middle Ridge Ch and Sherman Sch serving rural communities east of the gorge. The dramatic elevation change between the canyon floor and lookouts such as Barbour Rock and Harrison Lookout highlights the area's geological character. Significant local sites include Colton Point Park and the settlement of Ansonia at the confluence of Marsh Creek and Pine Creek. Genealogists may find interest in the Olmsville Cem near the small community of Olmsville, while the names of numerous local branches and runs, such as O'Connor Branch and Painter Run, reflect the complex drainage system into the gorge.
