1945 Map of Laceyville

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dramatic path through this 1945 landscape, forming the sharp oxbow known as Quicks Bend before reaching the riverside settlements of Laceyville and Skinners Eddy. This rural stretch of the Bradford and Wyoming county line shows a highly developed network of upland farms and small creek-side villages connected by the Lehigh Valley railroad line. Deeply incised valleys like those of Wyalusing Creek and Tuscarora Creek define the settlement patterns, where families established community centers like Camptown and Merryall. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Lacey Street Cem and Merryall Cem to the isolated Spring Hill Sch. The 1969 revisions, noted in purple, highlight the growth of residential and industrial footprints, particularly near the river flats of Braintrim Valley and the settlement of Browntown.
