1945 Map of Jenningsville

About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts through the northeastern corner of this landscape, accompanied by the Roosevelt Highway and the Lehigh Valley rail corridor. To the south, the terrain rises into the prominent heights of North Mountain and Briskey Mtn, where the headwaters of the North Branch Mehoopany Creek begin their descent. Small rural communities and local landmarks like Jenningsville and Lovelton anchor the valley floors, while the uplands are dotted with isolated points of interest such as the Sugar Hill Sch and Grant Hill Sch. This mid-century view shows a patchwork of upland ponds including Sharpe Pond and Stowell Pond, and traces the drainage of the Mehoopany Creek through various hollows. The presence of the Robinson Cem and several named schools provides vital clues for genealogists researching families in the rural corners of Wyoming and Bradford Counties.
