Description
An account of the resource
Postcard shows township located in Potter County, formed in 1804 and so remote that as of the 1830s one gazetteer wrote: "So little indeed is the county known or visited, that its very representatives in the assembly have scarce traversed it" (Gordon). Near this location are the headwaters of three major rivers: the Genesee, the Allegheny, and the Susquehanna. Or put another way, water from here flows to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Gulf of Mexico, and Chesapeake Bay. <br /><br />The image on this postcard in all likelihood was created first as a panoramic map, wholly or partially funded by citizens wanting to advertise the community as a commercial destination. In the years since, however, population has remained sparse and Ulysses is better known for its white supremicist activities. <br /><br />Source consulted: Thomas Francis Gordon, <a href="https://archive.org/details/gazetteerofstatep00gord/page/384" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>A Gazetteer of the State of Pennsylvania</em></a> (T.
