 Plunketts Creek was a source of power in the nineteenth century and " water @-@ powered sawmills , <unk> mills , and <unk> ( grain ) mills lined the ' <unk> and Plunketts and Big Bear Creeks " . Although hemlock logs were originally left to rot after their bark was <unk> for tanning , with time their lumber was used , among other places in a sawmill on Engle Run north of Proctor . By 1892 there were two steam powered sawmills on Plunketts Creek : one 0 @.@ 5 miles ( 0 @.@ 8 km ) above the mouth , and the other 4 @.@ 0 miles ( 6 @.@ 4 km ) up the creek , near <unk> . An extension of the Susquehanna and Eagles Mere Railroad crossed an unnamed tributary of Plunketts Creek near its source in Sullivan County in 1906 , running from the village of Hillsgrove northwest to the lumber <unk> of <unk> in Cascade and <unk> Townships in Lycoming County . A logging railroad was built by the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company ( <unk> ) in the far northern part of the watershed in the 1920s . It crossed Engle Run twice and ran parallel to Wolf Run , near both their sources . No other railroads crossed or ran along Plunketts Creek .
