About this map

Wellsboro serves as the focal point for this 1940s topographic survey of Tioga County, where the transition from town life to the remote hollows of the northern Appalachian plateau is clearly defined. The area is marked by a legacy of early infrastructure, including the County Home and the Wellsboro Country Club. Local transport and industry are tied to the New York Central rail line, which snakes through the steep terrain to reach the mining and lumbering outposts like Antrim.

Away from the main borough, rural life is preserved in the location of the Heise Run Sch and scattered houses of worship such as Mt Zion Ch and Roundtop Ch. Family history is rooted in the small settlements of Stony Fork, Draper, and Pitts. The landscape is dominated by high ridges like Russell Hill and Shumway Hill, with smaller communities like Balsam and Coolidge Hollow tucked into the drainage of Wilson Creek.
