About this map

Wellsboro serves as the northern anchor for this Tioga County landscape, where the plateau transitions into the steep drainages of Wilson Creek and Stony Fork. The topography is defined by prominent family-named heights like Russell Hill, Shumway Hill, and Dean Hill, reflecting a long history of upland farming and settlement. To the southeast, the village of Antrim marks a distinct cluster of activity, while smaller hamlets such as Balsam and Draper are scattered across the township boundaries of Delmar and Charleston.

Social and civic life is traced through landmarks like the County Home, the Wellsboro Country Club, and the Mt Zion Ch. Educational roots are visible at the Heise Run Sch, while the presence of a Railroad Grade winding through the southern hills indicates the importance of timber or coal transport to the local economy. The map also identifies several cemeteries, including Shumway Cem and Butler Cem, providing specific locations for genealogical research in this rural corridor.
