1965 Map of Jersey Shore
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Jersey Shore serves as the focal point of this river valley survey, positioned where Pine Creek joins the West Branch Susquehanna River. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Penn Central railroad, including the extensive Avis Yard, which highlights the area's role as a transportation hub in the mid-1960s. The presence of several smaller communities like Avis, McElhattan, and Woolrich indicates a pattern of industrial and residential growth along the valley floor, contrasted sharply by the steep, wooded slopes of Bald Eagle Mountain and Short Mountain. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Jersey Shore Cemetery, Phelps Chapel, and the South Avis Sch, while the surrounding Tiadaghton State Forest and Bald Eagle State Forest show the preservation of timberlands around the developed river corridor.
