About this map

Catatonk Creek and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad carve a distinct corridor through the hills of Tioga County in the mid-1950s. The village of Candor serves as a central hub, where Willseyville Creek and Targosh Brook meet the main valley. The map reveals a landscape defined by prominent ridges like Candor Hill and Diamond Peak, with the valley floor supporting concentrated settlements and vital transportation infrastructure.

Genealogists can locate family-named landmarks and essential community sites, such as Maple Grove Cem and Evergreen Cem. The agrarian and industrial character of the era is evident in the inclusion of the County Farm, the St Francis Ch in Catatonk, and the outlying hamlets of Flemingsville and Hubbardtown. Numerous named roads, such as Spaulding Hill Road and Ketchum Hollow Road, provide a detailed look at the rural network connecting these upland communities.
