1946 Map of Factoryville

Rural life in the mid-20th century is well-preserved here, with numerous family-named landmarks such as Merrick Cem, Oakley Cem, and Thomas Hill. Along the South Branch Tunkhannock Creek, the map details a network of early roads, including the Roosevelt Highway, connecting smaller settlements like Starkville and Bardwell. The interior reaches of Lithia Valley and the steep slopes of East Mountain remain largely undeveloped, dominated by dense woodland and small drainage basins like Stark Swamp.
