Seventy One (also known as Garner Run{{Citation|author = Geographic Names Information System|url = http://gnis.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=136:3:0::NO::P3_FID,P3_TITLE:1199966,Seventy%20One|title = Feature Detail Report for: Seventy One|accessdate = January 11, 2015}}) is a tributary of Elk Creek in Elk County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately {{convert|3.0|mi|km}} long and flows through St Marys.{{Citation|author = United States Geological Survey|url = http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer|title = The National Map Viewer|accessdate = January 11, 2015}} The watershed of the stream has an area of {{convert|2.33|sqmi|km2}}. The amounts of aluminum and iron in the stream are too small to be detectable. However, there are detectable amounts of manganese, acidity, and alkalinity in the stream. A portion of the stream's watershed is part of a greenway. A coal bed also is found near it.
Course
Seventy One begins at the top of a hill in St Marys. It flows southeast for a short distance before turning south-southwest for several tenths of a mile. It then receives an unnamed tributary from the right and then turns south-southwest for several tenths of a mile, entering a valley. The stream then receives another unnamed tributary and turns south for more than a mile. At the end of its valley, it crosses a railroad line and reaches its confluence with Elk Creek.
Seventy One joins Elk Run {{convert|7.48|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.{{Citation|url = http://www.lycoming.edu/cwi/pdfs/paGazetterOfStreams.pdf|title = Pennsylvania Gazetteer of Streams|page = 127|date = November 2, 2001|accessdate = January 11, 2015}}

Hydrology
The concentrations and daily loads of aluminum and iron in the waters of Seventy One at its mouth are too low to be detectable. However, the daily load of manganese is {{convert|0.1|lb|kg}} per day and the concentration is 0.01 milligrams per liter. It requires no reduction to meet the stream's total maximum daily load requirements. The daily load of acidity in the stream is {{convert|130.1|lb|kg}} per day and the acidity concentration is 12.43 milligrams per liter. It requires a reduction of 67 percent to meet the stream's total maximum daily load requirements. The pH of the stream is between 5.5 and 6.1. The daily load of alkalinity is {{convert|86.5|lb|kg}}.{{Citation|author = Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection|url = http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/watermgt/wqp/wqstandards/tmdl/ElkCreek_fINAL_TMDL.pdf|title = Final Elk Creek Watershed TMDL Elk County For Acid Mine Drainage Affected Segments|pages = 14, 53, 54|date = March 28, 2005|accessdate = January 11, 2015}}
The average discharge of Seventy One at its mouth is 1.26 million gallons per day.
Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Seventy One is {{convert|1486|ft|m}} above sea level. The elevation near the stream's source is between {{convert|2000|and|2020|ft|m}} above sea level.
A coal bed known as the Alton Upper Bed occurs in the vicinity of Seventy One, on the stream's western side.{{Citation|author = Charles Albert Ashburner, Arthur Whitcomb Sheafer|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=NlXWAAAAMAAJ&dq=The+Township+geology+of+Elk+and+Forest+Counties&pg=PR16|title = The Township Geology of Elk and Forest Counties, Volume 56|page = 176|year = 1885}}
Watershed
The watershed of Seventy One has an area of {{convert|2.33|sqmi|km2}}. The mouth of the stream is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Ridgway. However, its source is in the quadrangle of St Marys.
A portion of the watershed of Seventy One is in a greenway known as the Elk Creek Natural System Greenway Corridor.{{Citation|url = http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/cs/groups/public/documents/document/d_001205.pdf|title = The North Central Pennsylvania Greenways Plan|page = 190|date = June 1, 2010|accessdate = January 11, 2015}}{{dead link|date=February 2023|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}
