About this map

The borough of Wellsboro anchors this Tioga County landscape, shown here as it transitioned through the mid-20th century. The northern portion of the map reveals the town's early suburban and civic development, including the Wellsboro Country Club and the County Home. Moving south, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by the steep hollows and ridges of the Tioga State Forest and State Game Lands No 268. A distinctive industrial and transit corridor follows Stony Fork, where the NYC RR line winds alongside small rural hubs like Draper.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered rural landmarks such as the Heise Run Sch and the Shumway Cem on Shumway Hill. The settlement of Antrim in the south and smaller clusters like Brownlee and Duncan show the pattern of upland habitation common to this part of the Allegheny Plateau. The map captures the intricate drainage network of Wilson Creek and Charleston Creek, which historically dictated the placement of roads and early farmsteads.
