1970 Map of Gleason

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Tioga State Forest dominates this northern Pennsylvania landscape, where the intersections of Ward, Armenia, and Union Townships meet amid high ridges and deep stream hollows. Centered on the small settlement of Gleason, the 1970 survey reveals a rural economy shaped by timber and resource extraction, evidenced by a Strip Mine near Fall Brook and the remote Radio Tower Chamberlain atop the highlands. The rugged topography is carved by numerous waterways, including Sugar Works Run, Rathbone Cr, and the winding Tioga River. Local genealogy and community life are grounded at the southeastern corner of the map, where the North Union Ch and its adjacent North Union Cem stand near the Bradford County line. This era of mapping shows a landscape of recovery, where the State Forest Possessions and established recreational sites like the County Bridge Picnic Area highlight a shift toward public conservation and land management.
