About this map

St Francis Cem and St Thomas Cem anchor the rural landscape of this northern Pennsylvania border region in the late 1960s. The village of Friendsville sits at a crossroads near the center of the sheet, surrounded by several smaller rural clusters including Choconut and Middletown Center. This terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous southward-draining streams, most notably Wyalusing Creek and its various branches, which slice through the upland hills.

Evidence of seasonal and recreational use is visible at Camp Arrowhead near Carmalt Lake and Camp Choconut on the shores of Choconut Lake. Local industry is represented by scattered resource extraction points, including Quarries and a Gravel Pit. The map also documents large protected tracts of State Game Lands No 140, illustrating the transition from strictly agricultural land to managed conservation and recreation areas near the New York state line.
