1965 Map of Barbours

About this map

Loyalsock Creek carves a deep valley through this northern Pennsylvania landscape, where the transition from industrial extraction to conservation is evident in the mid-1960s. The village of Barbours sits at the junction of the creek and Plunketts Creek, serving as a small hub for the surrounding ridges. To the north, the Old Pleasant Stream Railroad Grade traces a path through McIntyre Ridge, a reminder of the era's timber and transport networks. High-elevation points like Sharp Top and Sprout Point overlook a territory largely managed by the Tiadaghton State Forest and State Game Lands No 134. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Jefferson Sch and Whipple Cem, while smaller settlements like Proctor and Hoppestown occupy narrow clearings along the valley floors. Remote hollows such as Coal Mine Hollow and Wolf Hollow suggest a history of localized mining tucked away between the steep slopes of Cascade Ridge and Camp Mountain.
