About this map

Eagles Mere serves as a prominent mountain resort center in this 1930s survey, surrounded by the high ridges of Sullivan and Lycoming counties. The map documents a landscape defined by deep stream valleys and high plateaus, where Loyalsock Creek and Muncy Creek carve through the terrain. The presence of the W. & N. B. R. R. through the southern section of the quadrangle highlights the importance of rail transport for the timber and tanning industries of the era, connecting small communities like Sonestown and Glen Mawr.

Rural life is meticulously recorded through a dense network of country schools and family-named landmarks. Features such as Marsh Run Sch, Rock Run Sch, and Mt Zion Ch provide essential data points for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads. From the secluded Ogdonia Clubhouse to the prominent heights of High Knob and North Mountain, the map captures the transition of the region from industrial extraction toward its role as a destination for outdoor recreation at sites like Worlds End.
