1945 Map of Auburn Center

About this map

The hills of Auburn and Rush townships are defined by a high plateau landscape deeply incised by the drainage of Little Meshoppen Creek and Tuscarora Creek. This 1945 survey, updated with 1969 aerial photography, reveals a dispersed settlement pattern centered on crossroads such as Auburn Center, Rushboro, and West Auburn. Family history value is found in the naming of local intersections like Chase Corners and Carter Corners, alongside spiritual hubs including St Bonaventure Ch and Jersey Hill Ch. To the north, Tuscarora Lake serves as a major water feature, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle include an Airway Beacon near Bunnell Hill Ch, reflecting mid-century navigation infrastructure. The map clearly delineates the tri-county borders where Bradford, Susquehanna, and Wyoming counties converge amidst marshes like Robert Swamp.
