1947 Map of Elizabethville

About this map

Wiconisco Creek meanders through the central valley of this 1947 survey, separating the steep slopes of Mahantango Mountain to the north from Berry Mountain to the south. The borough of Elizabethville serves as a primary hub for this rural Pennsylvania landscape, flanked by smaller settlements like Berrysburg and Loyalton. The map documents a dense network of local education and faith, recording numerous small schoolhouses such as the Kippenhatter School, Metz School, and Boyer School, many of which were central to the scattered farming communities of the mid-20th century.
