1955 Map of Catawissa

About this map

Catawissa sits at the confluence where Catawissa Creek meets the Susquehanna River, serving as a historic junction for the Conrail lines that trace the riverbank. This mid-century landscape reflects a region defined by its valley milling and upland farming, with small settlements like Parrs Mill and Pensyl Mill established along Roaring Creek. The map documents a deep-rooted community infrastructure, from the Tank Sch and Clayton Sch to numerous country churches like Emanuel Ch and the Old Quaker Ch.
