1947 Map of Laceyville

About this map

Laceyville and Skinners Eddy sit prominently along the northern bank of the Susquehanna River, where the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Roosevelt Highway follow the water’s edge. This mid-century landscape is defined by the sharp meander of Quicks Bend, a dramatic horseshoe turn that frames Dodd Island and the elevated plateau of North Flat. The map documents a rural network of upland settlements and family-named landmarks, including Spring Hill and Silvara, connected by winding roads through the Tuscarora Mountain range.
