About this map

Greenlick Ridge and Laurel Ridge dominate this section of the Pennsylvania wilds, where the drainage of Young Womans Creek carves a complex network of narrow hollows and steep-sided runs. The boundary between Potter and Clinton counties bisects the landscape, which is defined by its recreation-driven infrastructure rather than permanent settlements. A series of specialized routes, including the Donut Hole Trl and the Susquehannock State Forest Snowmobile Trails Trl, weave through the timberland, suggesting a landscape managed for forestry and seasonal use.

Names like Ginseng Hollow, Bee Tree Hollow, and Calamity Hollow evoke the early resource extraction and folklore of these North Central highlands. The hydrology is particularly intricate here, with the Left Branch Young Womans Creek collecting water from dozens of smaller tributaries such as Mudlick Run and Shingle Branch. This 2023 survey illustrates a modern environment that remains sparsely populated, dominated by the ridges of Summerson Mountain and protected state forest lands.
