1994 Map of Waterville

About this map

Waterville serves as the focal point for this survey of the Lycoming County backcountry, situated where Little Pine Creek meets the larger Pine Creek. The landscape is dominated by the steep drainages of Tiadaghton State Forest and the recreational development within Little Pine State Park, including the Little Pine Dam and Little Pine Picnic Area. Local history is preserved in the naming of remote hollows and high points, such as Henson Ridge and Little Round Top. Evidence of rural community life appears at Mt Pleasant Ch and its neighboring cemetery in the southern portion of the map. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of waterways like Ramsey Run and English Run, which have carved deep into Houselander Mountain and Puterbaugh Mountain, illustrating the region's long-standing reliance on its river-cut geography for both transport and industry.
