1947 Map of Galeton

About this map

Galeton and the surrounding highlands of the Susquehannock region appear here during the late 1940s, a landscape defined by deep-cut hollows and specialized industry. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad follows the winding course of Pine Creek, serving the logging and manufacturing interests that shaped towns like Watrous and Marshlands. An interesting industrial relic is visible at Acid Factory Hol, reflecting the era's wood chemical production, while numerous Oil & Gas Wells dot the northern ridges near Elephant Mountain.
