1945 Map of Auburn Center

About this map

Auburn Center and its surrounding hamlets occupy a landscape of creek-fed valleys and upland corners at the intersection of Susquehanna, Wyoming, and Bradford counties. This mid-century survey reveals a rural network defined by community focal points like Jersey Hill Ch and St Bonaventure Ch, alongside family-named landmarks such as Harris Corners and Carter Corners. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of Tuscarora Creek and Little Meshoppen Creek, with notable elevations like Round Top providing overlooks. Genealogists may find interest in the location of Boles Cem and the distribution of smaller settlements like Retta, Rushboro, and South Auburn. An Airway Beacon on the southern ridge reflects the technological era of the mid-1940s, while the persistence of upland bogs like Malone Swamp and Robert Swamp underscores the natural drainage patterns of this agricultural region.
