2019 Map of Young Womans Creek

About this map

Summerson Mtn and the surrounding high ridges define this section of the Pennsylvania Wilds, where the boundary between Potter and Clinton counties cuts through a dense network of narrow valleys. The drainage system is dominated by Young Womans Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Left Br Young Womans Cr and Shaney Brook. This 2019 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by its hydrology and topographic relief, with numerous named hollows such as Calamity Hollow, Ingram Hollow, and Daugherty Hollow carving into the upland plateaus. The map reveals a remote geography where human activity is limited to a sparse network of forest roads and trails, such as Twelve Mile Rd and Fork Hill Rd, which follow the contours of the ridges and the paths of the winding stream beds.
