1965 Map of Cogan Station

About this map

Lycoming Creek carves a deep valley through the northern Appalachian highlands, guiding the Penn Central rail line and a string of mid-century communities. The map captures a detailed snapshot of settlement patterns in Lycoming County, ranging from the industrial outskirts of Williamsport to the rural ridges of Nail Factory Mtn and Scofield Mountain. The southern edge reveals the expansion of residential neighborhoods like Garden View and Vallamont Hills as they encroach upon the hills above the city. Higher up the valley, the transition from agricultural life to timbered heights is marked by historic sites such as the Blooming Grove Meetinghouse and St Michaels Ch. The landscape is dotted with local landmarks of the 1960s and 70s, including a Drive-in Theater near Woodland Park and the extensive grounds of Wildwood Cemetery.
