1947 Map of Auburn Center

About this map

The rolling highlands of southern Susquehanna County are defined by a network of small upland ponds and the headwaters of numerous creeks in the years following World War II. At the heart of the landscape sits Auburn Center, surrounded by numerous family-named crossroads like Harris Corners, Chase Corners, and Green Corners. This agricultural and rural territory is anchored by community landmarks such as St Bonaventure Ch and Jersey Hill Ch, while the Boles Cem. provides a genealogical touchstone for local families. The terrain is notably water-rich, featuring White Pond, Lott Pond, and the Robert Swamp. A modern technological imprint is visible on the landscape near the southern border in the form of an Airway Beacon, positioned atop the ridges to guide mid-century aviation through the Appalachian plateau.
