About this map

Lycoming Creek carves a deep valley through the high ridges of northern Pennsylvania, anchoring a landscape where narrow floodplains provide the only footing for settlements like Trout Run and Fields Station. The 1965 survey data, updated with 1973 photogrammetric revisions, illustrates a remote mountain corridor heavily defined by public land, including the Tiadaghton State Forest and State Game Lands No 133. The Penn Central rail line follows the water's edge, a vital link through the timbered heights of Mc Intyre Mountain and Bodine Mountain.

In the more accessible hollows to the southeast, the map records the community structures of Gamble, including the Rose Valley Sch, Rose Valley Ch, and Rose Valley Cem. These landmarks, along with family-named features like Hanlon Mountain and Cornwell Mountain, offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestors in the Lycoming County backcountry. The inclusion of Splash Dam Run hints at the region's earlier industrial history of log driving and forest management.
