1946 Map of Young Womans Creek

About this map

Young Womans Creek carves a complex drainage system through the northern Pennsylvania highlands, where the Stewardson and Chapman territories meet at the border of Potter and Clinton Counties. The 1940s landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high ridges, notably Greenlick Ridge, Laurel Ridge, and Lecox Ridge. These landforms created a naturally isolated environment where early naming conventions often reflected local flora and pioneer hardships, as seen in Bee Tree Hol, Birch Hollow, and the evocative Calamity Hollow.
