About this map

Woodward and Livonia anchor this portrait of Union County’s ridge-and-valley landscape, where narrow gaps and high summits dictate the flow of travel and settlement. The southern corridor is defined by SR 45, which follows the path of Voneida Run beneath the steep slopes of Sand Mountain and Woodward Mountain. To the north, Brush Valley Rd provides the primary passage through the valley of Elk Cr, passing through Livonia before reaching the prominent Stover Gap.

The terrain is marked by an intricate network of hollows and gaps, including Negro Hollow, Hayes Hollow, and the notable Winkelblech Gap. Recreation and natural landmarks are central to the area's character, evidenced by the Hairy Johns Picnic Area and several named water sources like Horse Path Spring and Cinder Pile Spring. These features, along with the numerous mountain peaks like Paddy Mountain and Third Green Knob, illustrate the enduring relationship between the community and the forested highlands of central Pennsylvania.
