1929 Map of Karthaus

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Karthaus sits at a sharp bend in the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, serving as a focal point for this 1929 survey of the rugged Pennsylvania coal and lumber country. The landscape is defined by deep drainages like Mosquito Creek and Moshannon Creek, which carved the plateaus where numerous small farming and mining communities took root. Settlements such as the Granot Settlement and Cooper Settlement illustrate the late 19th and early 20th-century pattern of upland ethnic hamlets, often anchored by local institutions like the German Settlement Sch or Sylvan Grove Sch.
