1949 Map of Clifford

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Elk Hill dominates the center of this rural landscape, rising to two prominent peaks known as North Knob and South Knob. This 1949 study captures the transition between Susquehanna and Lackawanna counties, where small agricultural hamlets like Clifford and Royal are connected by a network of winding roads and historical routes like the Old Newburg Turnpike. The terrain is deeply carved by the East Branch Tunkhannock Creek, which drains numerous high-altitude basins including Crystal Lake and Newton Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of several small community focal points such as St Johns Ch and Welch Hill Ch, alongside family-associated burial grounds like the Burdick Cem and Willow View Cem. The presence of the Elkview Country Club near the southern boundary suggests the area's development into a mid-century recreational destination for the surrounding Susquehanna valley.
