About this map

Dushore serves as the primary hub in this 1969 topographic portrait of the Pennsylvania highlands, where the Lehigh Valley railroad line threads through the valley of South Branch Towanda Creek. The landscape transition from the village of New Albany southward to Dushore reveals a patchwork of rural industry and community life, evidenced by several scattered Gravel Pits and local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater near Marsh Run.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the foundations of the area through family-linked sites such as Ladds and Laddsburg, along with several spiritual centers including St Basil's Sch and Mt Tabor Ch. The map also documents the shifting transportation infrastructure of the era, noting an Old Railroad Grade and a small Landing Strip carved into the hillsides of Cherry township, contrasting with the wilder expanse of State Game Lands No 36 in the northwest corner.
