1958 Map of Hanna

About this map

Hanna stands as a primary rail junction in the late 1950s, where the Pennsylvania and Chesapeake and Ohio lines intersect amidst a landscape dominated by drainage engineering. The township boundaries of Clinton, Noble, Cass, and Hanna are clearly delineated, reflecting a rural order defined by the cardinal-direction grid of roads like 800 South Road and 1200 South Road. This agrarian territory is heavily modified by an extensive network of ditches and arms, including Grand Trunk Arm and Ohio Ditch, essential for managing the low-lying terrain. To the north, Union Mills and Wellsboro anchor the community, while the Lincoln Highway provides a major east-west artery through the center of the sheet. Local genealogy interest is found in the scattered rural landmarks such as Township School and churches like Zion Ch and St Johns Ch in the southwestern corner.
