1948 Map of Crosby

About this map

The confluence of Potato Creek and Driftwood Branch Sinnemahoning Creek shapes this high plateau region of North Central Pennsylvania. Centered on the boundary between McKean, Elk, and Cameron counties, the map captures the industrial and social infrastructure of the late 1940s, from the rail operations at Hamlin Sta and Wellendorf Sta to the small village of Clermont. The Pennsylvania Railroad tracks wind through the narrow valleys, serving the coal and timber interests that defined the local economy during this era.
