About this map

Tiadaghton State Forest dominates the landscape of north-central Pennsylvania, where the steep terrain is carved by the winding Pine Creek and its sharp Gorge. The 1973 revisions to this area reveal the corridor of the Penn Central railroad following the water gap through Waterville and south toward Ramsey. This map illustrates the intersection of recreation and industry, showing several quarries alongside the Little Pine Picnic Area and the Little Pine Dam Spillway Elev 779.

Genealogists and local historians will find several landmarks preserved in the valley, including the Centennial Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch, along with various family-named topographic features such as Puterbaugh Mountain and Henson Ridge. The settlement patterns at Tombs and Camp Kline reflect the narrow habitable strips of land situated between the rising slopes of Houselander Mountain and the creek's edge. The mapping of the Radio Tower and various pipelines highlights the modern infrastructure laid across the older rural network of Limbaugh Road and Gamble Road.
