About this map

The headwaters of the Genesee River define this 1969 landscape in Potter County, Pennsylvania, just south of the New York state line. The river’s path is flanked by high ridges and deep hollows, including Mundy Hollow and Wolf Hollow, which directed the development of early transportation and settlement. Local history is anchored by rural hubs like Ulysses, Genesee, and several Bingham-named settlements, while the presence of an extensive Underground Gas Storage Field and numerous gas wells reflects the region's energy resources.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the Old RR Gr and Old Railroad Grade that once connected these river valley communities to broader markets. Genealogical interest centers on sites such as North Bingham Cem and small crossroads like Kibbeville Corners. Aviation history is also represented by the Hickox Landing Field, situated near the confluence of the West Br and Middle Branch of the river.
