1960 Map of Homeworth

About this map

Fairmount Childrens Home stands as a prominent institution in the northwest corner of this landscape, situated near the Fairmount Mem Park (Cem) and Fairmount Ch. The terrain transitions from the relatively level agricultural fields of Washington and Knox townships into the more dissected drainage basins of Sandy Cr and Middle Branch to the south. This 1960s-era topography reveals a rural economy still tied to the Penn Central rail line, which connects the small village centers of Homeworth, Moultrie, and Bayard.
