1945 Map of Auburn Center

About this map

Auburn Center serves as the focal point of a rural landscape spanning the intersection of Susquehanna, Bradford, and Wyoming Counties. Originally mapped in 1945 and updated with 1969 aerial photography, this map reveals a pattern of ridge-top settlements and crossroads like Angle Corners and Carter Corners. The region is defined by the steep drainage of Tuscarora Creek and Meshoppen Creek, where small ponds such as White Pond and Carlin Pond break the terrain. Local social and family history is preserved in landmarks such as the Jersey Hill Ch, St Bonaventure Ch, and Boles Cem. One of the more unique technological features is the Airway Beacon located on Bunnell Hill, signaling the transition into the mid-century era of regional navigation.
