1958 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Little Neshannock Creek and its various branches carve through the agricultural landscape of northern Wilmington and southern Lackawannock townships. This 1958 survey, updated with 1970 aerial data, reveals a rural community defined by family-named landmarks and small educational and spiritual centers. Small clusters of homes and farmsteads center around settlements like Greenfield and Hoagland, while the construction of Interstate 80 introduces a major transportation artery across the rolling valley floor. Local heritage is preserved in the numerous country cemeteries and historic church sites, such as White Chapel Ch and Unity Ch, which anchored the social life of these townships for generations. The map also records the location of old schoolhouses like Zuver Sch and Ligo Sch, offering a detailed view of the rural infrastructure before late-century consolidation changed the local landscape.
