2010 Map of Woodward

About this map

Woodward and Livonia anchor this topographic study of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, where narrow settlements follow the level ground between steep forested heights. The landscape is defined by its deep gaps and hollows, including Hosterman Gap, Wolfs Store Gap, and Hayes Hollow, which serve as natural corridors for local roads like Jackson Hill Rd and Stover Gap Rd. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate, with Elk Creek and Pine Creek winding through the central valleys, fed by smaller tributaries such as Wohlford Run and Voneida Run. Significant elevations like Nittany Mountain and Winkelblech Mountain isolate the different drainages, while Hairy Johns Picnic Area provides a named public landmark in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2010 survey details a region where traditional land use patterns persist, constrained by the underlying geology of the Pennsylvania mountains.
