1969 Map of West Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Elk State Forest and State Game Lands No 14 dominate this 1969 topographic portrait of the Pennsylvania Highlands, where the border between Cameron and Elk Counties runs through deep wooded hollows. The valley floor is defined by the Penn Central railroad corridor, connecting small clearings at Truman and Howard Siding along the banks of West Creek. The landscape reveals a complex economy of extraction and recreation, as numerous Gas Wells and active Strip Mines neighbor hunting retreats like Whippoorwill Camp. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Cem located near the railroad at Truman, while the intricate network of named water bodies, including Gillis Bliss Run and Tanner Hollow Run, illustrates the rugged drainage patterns of the Allegheny Plateau before modern forest management altered these old timberlands.
