Coudersport lies in a broad valley at the confluence of the [[Allegheny River]] and Mill Creek. It is surrounded by the great hilltop plateaux of the Allegheny highlands. Highways enter north and south on [[Pennsylvania Route 44]], the very old Jersey Shore (log road) Turnpike, and from west to east on [[U.S. Route 6 in Pennsylvania|U.S. Route 6]], the "Grand Army of the Republic Highway", which had been long a major mid-east-states east-west corridor before the construction of Interstate highways which began in the late 1950s. The most noted hilltops, located here on this plateau, are Dutch Hill, stretching to the southeast, and Vader Hill, stretching to the southwest. The Allegheny River makes a quick turn at this point, going from north to west; for that reason, these features are distinctly individual from afar in the broad turning valley, and rise 2400–2500 feet above sea-level.
