About this map

Lycoming Creek snakes through a deep valley in this section of the Appalachian Plateaus, anchoring the local settlements of Gray and Trout Run. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges and hollows, where family-named features like Cochran Mtn, Cornwell Mtn, and Hanlon Mtn stand above deep drainages. The naming of Splash Dam Run suggests the area's legacy of timber management, where water was once harnessed to move logs through the steep landscape.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across these slopes, including Steam Valley Cem, Trout Run Cem, and Rose Valley Cem. Transportation is dictated by the topography, with Williamson Trl and Grays Run Rd following the natural contours and creek beds. The map illustrates a persistent rural character, where small clusters of homes are concentrated along the primary valley floors while the high ground remains largely unsettled.
