1943 Map of Le Raysville

About this map

Le Raysville and its surrounding dairy and farming country appear here in the 1940s, situated along the Bradford Co Susquehanna Co line just south of the Pennsylvania New York boundary. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Wyalusing Creek and Apalachin Creek, where numerous small hamlets and corner settlements like Warren Center and Birchardville served a dispersed rural population. The map reveals a dense network of local institutions, from country schoolhouses like the Flynn Sch and Logan Hill Sch to spiritual centers such as St Patricks Ch and North Warren Ch. This era was characterized by distinct rural crossroads like Stone House Corner and Parks Crossroads, which acted as vital community hubs before the mid-century consolidation of services. Many family names are preserved in the landscape through locations like Conklin Cors and the Devine Ridge Cem, reflecting a long-established pattern of upland settlement.
