1973 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Greenwood and Whiteland anchor this 1970s landscape, reflecting the suburban expansion along the Penn Central rail line. The map illustrates a shift from the agrarian roots of Pleasant and Clark townships toward more structured residential developments, seen in the residential grids of New Whiteland and the presence of institutions like Central Technical Sch. Despite this growth, the area's rural heritage remains visible through a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including Hurricane Cem, Williams Cem, and McGill Cem. Waterways like Hurricane Creek and Grassy Creek wind through the terrain, which is punctuated by landmarks such as Donalds Knoll and Polk Hill. Infrastructure of the era is well-documented, from the Sewage Disposal plants to the Landing Strip and the Radio Tower (WIFN) near Franklin.
