1946 Map of Young Womans Creek

About this map

Young Womans Creek and its many tributaries, such as Sevenmile Run and Sixmile Run, dominate this mid-century topographic portrait of the Pennsylvania Wilds. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between narrow valley floors and high ridges like Lebo Ridge and Shephard Road Ridge. While no major towns appear, the map reveals a complex network of forest industry infrastructure, including the Underground Pipe Line crossing the southwest and the historic Shingle Mill Hollow. Numerous trails and primitive roads, such as Greenlick Road and the Bobsled Trail, suggest a region focused on timbering and early resource extraction. The area spans the Stewardson and Chapman townships across the border of Potter and Clinton counties. This 1946 survey documents a specific phase of Pennsylvania forest management before modern development, preserving the locations of remote landmarks like Fork Hill and Summerson Mtn.
