About this map

Hughesville serves as the primary hub of this 1960s landscape, with its residential grid bounded by Muncy Creek and Gregs Creek. The map documents the community's mid-century expansion, noting several trailer parks and the East Lycoming High Sch alongside the long-standing Fairgrounds. To the south and east, the terrain transitions into the steep ridges of Warn Hill and Broad Ridge, where smaller rural settlements like Moreland and Clarkstown are centered around local landmarks such as Moreland Community Ch.

Evidence of historical land use persists in the distribution of family-named hollows and small religious centers like Fairview Ch and St James Cem located near the Northumberland Co and Lycoming Co border. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous named runs, including Tommy Run and German Run, indicates a landscape defined by its narrow valleys and local resource extraction. The 1975 revisions highlight suburban growth and roadway updates, including the Frazier Bridge crossing, while preserving the earlier surveying of the township boundaries.
