2010 Map of Wildwood Fire Tower

About this map

Wildwood Fire Tower stands as a primary landmark in this densely wooded area of Elk County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of deep-cut hollows and winding waterways. The small settlement of Straight Creek is situated near the northern edge of the map, where Straight Creek and its branches converge. This territory is characterized by numerous family and industrial-named landmarks, such as Al Wright Hollow, Mason Hollow, and Company Hollow, which suggest the local history of timbering and resource extraction. Significant elevation changes are marked by Jarrets Summit, while the drainage system of the Driftwood Branch Sinnemahoning Creek and the Elk River carves through the terrain. The presence of routes like the Shawmut Gr Rd and Shawmut Grade Rd indicates the area's legacy of mountain transport and forestry access roads.
