Steve,
If that's correct then this tree is at it's northern most range here in Southeast Pa. It is also growing near the top of a hill several hundred feet above the nearest stream. I have seen this in other areas as well. I thought they prefer to grow in flood plains. My information source was the National Audubon Society Field Guide To Trees . Thanks for the quick response.

There were a few leaves still holding onto a lower limb that look like a chestnut oak. I have attached a few pictures of the leaf and bark.
