About this map

Laurelton State Village anchors the southern portion of this mid-1960s survey, representing a significant institutional presence in the region's mid-century landscape. To the north, the geography is defined by the steep, parallel ridges of Bald Eagle State Forest, where features like Bake Oven Mountain and Seven Notch Mountain rise above the deep cut of the Fourteenmile Narrows. Local transit and leisure are reflected in the presence of Raymond B Winter State Park and an Old Railroad Grade that traces the valley floors.

Concentrated settlements such as Hartleton, Swengel, and Millmont line the southern foothills, showcasing the traditional cluster of rural Pennsylvania life. Genealogists can find localized detail at the Hartleton Cem and Old Cedars Cem, while the inclusion of the Western Area Sch and Union Ch highlights the community infrastructure of the era. The mapping of Hickernell Spring and several runs feeding into Penns Creek underscores the importance of the local watershed to these valley towns.
