About this map

The rolling uplands of the Susquehanna and Wyoming county borders define this mid-century landscape, centered on the community of Auburn Center. The area is characterized by a network of small crossroads settlements such as West Auburn, South Auburn, and Green Corners, which served as local focal points for the surrounding agricultural tracts. Numerous small water bodies like White Pond, Carlin Pond, and Nick Pond dot the terrain, feeding the southward flow of Little Meshoppen Creek.

Religious life is well-documented through scattered country churches, including Jersey Hill Ch, St Bonaventure Ch, and Shannon Hill Ch. An interesting modern addition to the rural landscape is the Airway Beacon located near Burnell Hill Ch in the southern portion of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the survey identifies several family-named landmarks and the Boles Cem near Round Top, offering a precise record of the district's physical and social organization in the post-war era.
