About this map

The State Teachers College and central business district of Mansfield anchor this mid-century portrait of Tioga County. Situated along the Tioga River, the town is a crossroads of industry and education, where the Erie RR and the Roosevelt Highway converge near the local fairgrounds. The landscape reveals a transition from the structured valley floor to the surrounding heights of Oak Hill and Pickle Hill, where small farming communities and family-named landmarks like Kellytown and Canoe Camp persist.

Several burial grounds, including Oakwood Cem and Whittaker Cem, provide significant data points for genealogists tracing local families. The drainage patterns of numerous creeks, such as Corey Creek and Lambs Creek, define the township boundaries of Richmond, Rutland, and Sullivan. This survey captures the region after the post-war expansion but before modern highway realignments significantly altered the historic river corridor.
