1944 Map of Bradford
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Bradford serves as the industrial and transport hub of this Pennsylvania landscape, where the northern border meets New York's Cattaraugus County. The 1944 survey reveals a dense network of mountain settlements and small schoolhouses, such as Marilla Brook Sch and Songbird Sch, scattered across the dissected plateau of the Alleghenies. The region's early 20th-century dependence on rail and resources is evident in the presence of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Erie Railroad, and the Baltimore and Ohio, all converging on the valley floor of Tuna Creek. Beyond the city, numerous small villages like Derrick City, Rixford, and Custer City follow the narrow creek beds and hollows. The terrain is marked by essential infrastructure for the growing municipality, including Reservoir No 1, Reservoir No 2, and Reservoir No 3 nestled west of the city limits near Marilla Brook.
