1968 Map of Harford

About this map

New Milford and the surrounding townships of Gibson and Harford characterize this portion of Susquehanna County, where the landscape is a mix of high hills and narrow valleys. The northern reach is defined by the Conrail line tracing the valley of Salt Lick Creek. Numerous crossroads settlements such as Wellmans Corners, Moxley Corners, and Kentuck Corners illustrate the historical importance of the local road network connecting rural farming communities. Water features are abundant, including Page Lake in the northeast and Tingley Lake near the western boundary, while the Fairgrounds at Harford highlights the area's agricultural heritage. Numerous quarries scattered across the map, such as those on Wolf Hill and Jones Hill, point to the region's extractive history. Notable local landmarks for genealogists include Peck Cem and Sweet Chapel, preserved here at the time of the late 1960s field check.
