1954 Map of Crooked Creek

About this map

Hills Creek Lake sits at the center of this rural Pennsylvania landscape, surrounded by the small crossroads and family-named landmarks of Tioga County in the mid-1950s. The northern reaches are defined by the Penn Central rail line passing through Holiday Sta and the winding course of Crooked Creek. The southern half of the map reveals a deeply established agricultural and community network, centered around the Charleston Consolidated Sch and the neighboring settlements of Whitneyville and East Charleston.
