About this map

Tiadaghton State Forest dominates this Lycoming County landscape, where the confluence of Little Pine Creek and Pine Creek creates a dramatic river gorge. The settlement of Waterville serves as a central hub, situated near where the Penn Central railroad follows the winding creek banks. The presence of the Little Pine Dam and its associated Recreation Area and Campsite reflect the mid-century development of the region for public leisure and conservation.

Researchers will find a wealth of family and local history markers, from the Mt Pleasant Ch and Centennial Ch to numerous named hollows and ridges like Henson Ridge and Broughton Hollow. The map also captures the industrial and agricultural patterns of the era, including a Quarry near Cogan House Run and the Camp Kline facility. The terrain is intricately detailed, showing the steep elevations of Houselander Mountain and East Hill that define the Watson and Mifflin townships.
