1948 Map of Clifford

About this map

Elk Hill dominates the central landscape of this Susquehanna County region, rising between the headwaters of Tunkhannock Creek and Tinker Creek. The area maintains a classic 1940s rural Pennsylvania character, where small settlements like Clifford and Dundaff are anchored by numerous country churches and family cemeteries. Significant local history is preserved in the road networks, including the historic path of the Newburg Turnpike in the northeast. The southern portion of the map shows a transition toward recreational and social centers at the Susquehanna and Lackawanna county line, notably around Crystal Lake and the Elkview Country Club. These features, alongside smaller water bodies like Lake Idlewild and Newton Lake, illustrate a landscape shifting from its agricultural roots toward a destination for seasonal leisure while maintaining distinct hamlets like Elkdale and Birchtown.
