About this map

Woodward and Livonia anchor this terrain at the junction of Penns Valley and Brush Valley, where the ridges of the Central Pennsylvania mountains define the local geography. The landscape is dominated by the dense woodlands of the Bald Eagle State Forest, marked by numerous narrow gaps such as Greenburr Gap, Wohlford Gap, and Stover Gap. These natural passes have historically dictated movement through the region, connecting isolated valleys via routes like Brush Valley Rd.

Genealogical interest is found at the Livonia Cem and Brungart Cem, which sit near the banks of Elk Creek. Evidence of earlier transport and industrial activity appears at Cinder Pile Siding near Buffalo Mountain. The map also details an extensive network of fire roads and trails, including the Bald Eagle State Forest Snowmobile Trails Trl, which wind through named hollows and ridges like Negro Hollow and Buck Ridge.
