1947 Map of Galeton

About this map

Galeton stands as the primary hub in this Potter County landscape, where the Pine Creek and its many branches carve deep valleys through the high plateaus of Pike and Abbott townships. The map documents a transition in transportation and industry, showing the path of the Wa&G railroad alongside relics of earlier timber and freight routes like the Old Railroad Grade and the West Branch Railroad Grade. Settlement patterns follow the narrow valley floors, from the established village of Germania to smaller points like Carter Camp and the rail-stop at Germania Sta.
