1945 Map of Jenningsville

About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts through the northeast corner of this territory, where the Lehigh Valley Railroad and Roosevelt Highway follow its banks past the township of Braintrim. Moving south into the interior of Wyoming County, the landscape rises into the ridges of North Mountain and Briskey Mtn, drained by the winding North Branch Mehoopany Creek. This 1945 survey documents a traditional rural landscape defined by small crossroad settlements and upland farming. Education is anchored by a network of local institutions including Golden Hill Sch, Sugar Hill Sch, and Grant Hill Sch. Family history is rooted in communities like Jenningsville and Lovelton, while the Robinson Cem near Forkston provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early residents of the Mehoopany valley.
