About this map

Canton and its surrounding hamlets sit at a vital intersection of rail and mountain hydrology in the early 1940s. The Pennsylvania RR threads through the valley of Lycoming Creek and Alba Creek, linking settlements like Ralston, Roaring Branch, and Alba. This corridor supported a network of rural institutions, from the Joe Hill Sch and Ward Sch to the North Union Ch, each serving family-named enclaves such as Spencertown and Gleason.
