About this map

West Creek and the small settlement of Truman anchor the northern landscape of this Elk County region, where the winding waterway of West Creek carves a path through the Pennsylvania highlands. The era of railroad infrastructure is evidenced by the Howard Siding, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of hollows and runs, including Horning Hollow, Bruner Hollow, and Hercules Hollow.

Outdoor recreation and conservation are central to this area's character, as seen in the presence of the Pine Tree Trail Natural Area and the Hicks Run Camping Area to the south. The map documents a rugged topography of named summits like Whittimore Hill and Moore Hill, bisected by numerous tributaries such as East Branch Hicks Run and Bigger Run. This 2010 survey provides a modern record of the timber-and-stream geography that has long defined north-central Pennsylvania, showing the interplay between local roads like Huston Hill Rd and the vast forest tracts.
