1947 Map of Hopbottom

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Martins Creek and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad corridor define the eastern valley of this Susquehanna County landscape in the years following World War II. The settlement at Hopbottom (Foster Sta) serves as a primary hub along the rail line, while smaller hamlets like Lindaville, Deckertown, and Nicholson are scattered across the surrounding uplands. The terrain is a network of named heights, including Prospect Hill and Coon Hill, interspersed with numerous ponds and wetlands such as Kinney Swamp and Lakeside Pond. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several small burial grounds like Dennis Cem, Button Cem, and Squier Cem, alongside landmarks of rural community life including Union Ch and the Squier Hill Sch. The map documents a period when the agricultural and transit infrastructure of northeastern Pennsylvania remained firmly rooted in its nineteenth-century origins.
