1932 Map of Eagles Mere

About this map

Eagles Mere and its eponymous Eagles Mere Lake serve as a focal point for this early 1930s survey of the Sullivan and Lycoming county borderlands. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of North Mountain, High Knob, and Chestnut Ridge, with the winding course of Loyalsock Creek and Muncy Creek carving deep valleys through the plateau. A dense network of rural infrastructure is visible, featuring numerous one-room schoolhouses like Bunker Hill Sch and Rock Run Sch, alongside local landmarks such as Worlds End. The map documents the transition of the region from its timber and tanning roots toward recreation, capturing early mountain retreats like Ogdonia Clubhouse and Bena Lodge. Significant transportation routes including State Highway No 42 and State Highway No 220 connect isolated settlements like Sonestown and Mawrglen PO, while the Essick Sta suggests the continuing influence of earlier rail corridors.
