About this map

Wells Tannery serves as a focal point in this portion of Fulton County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Kimber Mountain and Harbor Mountain. The area exhibits a mix of rural industry and transport infrastructure, notably the Rays Hill Tunnel and Sideling Hill Tunnel, which cut through the steep terrain to facilitate travel across the Pennsylvania highlands. Near the center of the map, the Old Mountain House stands as a landmark of local history alongside the small community of Valley-Hi, situated near the Pa-32 Dam.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous runs and creeks such as Tub Mill Run, Sherman Valley Run, and Oregon Creek carving through the valleys. Smaller settlements and named locales like Glendale, Shortys Place, and Budds Place provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations in this region during the early 21st century. The map also records the presence of the Garlick Mine north of Wells Tannery, indicating the persistent legacy of resource extraction in the region.
