1969 Map of Lopez

About this map

Lopez serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Pennsylvania Endless Mountains, situated at the confluence of Lopez Creek and Loyalsock Creek. The 1969 landscape is defined by its transition from industrial extraction to conservation, with numerous Strip Mine sites and a Quarry dotting the plateaus while vast tracts are preserved as State Game Lands No 66 and Ricketts Glen State Park. For the genealogist, the map identifies local landmarks such as St Vladimirs Ch and its accompanying St Vladimirs Cem, along with the Junk Cem near McCarroll Corner. The transportation history of the region is evident in the Old Railroad Grade that winds through the creek valleys and the historic route of the Berwick Turnpike cutting through the southern townships of La Porte and Davidson. Numerous water features, from Splashdam Pond to the high-elevation Lake John, underscore the area's complex drainage network.
