2016 Map of Trout Run

About this map

Trout Run sits at the southern confluence of several mountain waterways where the geography of the Allegheny Plateau creates a complex network of narrow valleys and ridges. This 2016 record shows a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, ranging from the high summits of Cochran Mtn and Bodine Mtn down to the drainage of Lycoming Creek. The naming conventions found throughout the quadrangle, such as Turntable Hollow, Splash Dam Run, and Schoolhouse Run, point toward a history rooted in timber and early rural infrastructure. Extensive forestry and access roads like Hagerman Run Rd and Steam Valley Rd wind through the terrain, connecting the scattered hollows. The map illustrates how human movement is dictated by the water, with the primary settlement and transportation corridors following the narrow floor of the Lycoming Creek valley.
