About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep valley through the southern portion of this Potter County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for the Wellsville Addison and Galeton Creek rail line. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows, such as Cushing Hollow and Hardscrabble Hollow, which define the rugged uplands between the small settlements of West Pike and Loucks Mills. This 1969 survey illustrates a region dominated by timber and conservation, with large tracts designated as Susquehannock State Forest and State Game Lands No 64.

Local history is preserved in the location of a Cem near Sunderlinville and the presence of high-elevation landmarks like the Lookout Tower on a prominent ridge. The map also reveals industrial and utility footprints through several Quarries and a prominent Pipeline corridor that cuts across the northern ridges. Small hamlets like Flynn are positioned along the primary valley floors, where the Genesee Forks and California Creek meet the higher ground.
