About this map

Buffalo Mtn and the surrounding ridges of the Appalachian Mountains dominate this 2016 landscape, where the border between Lycoming and Union counties follows the high crests of the Bald Eagle State Forest. The area is defined by its deep gaps and hollows, including the prominent Beartrap Hollow and Cowbell Hollow. Water travels through the narrow valleys via White Deer Cr and Spruce Run, eventually feeding the Spruce Run Reservoir in the southeast.

Transport through these steep corridors is limited to a network of forestry roads and trails, such as Sugar Valley Narrows Rd and the Cowbell Hollow Trail. Named peaks like Shoemaker Knob, Potato Hill, and Nittany Mtn serve as significant landmarks for those navigating the ridge-and-valley terrain. The map also records several notable natural crossings and low points, including Lyman Gap and First Gap.
