About this map

Tioga River serves as the central artery for this portion of Tioga County, carving a valley that dictated the placement of early settlements and transportation routes. The community of Mansfield is the primary hub, where the State Teachers College and Fairgrounds anchor the town's social and educational life. The river's path is closely shadowed by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad, which historically connected the northern Tioga valley with industrial markets.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including family-named sites like Clark Cem, Ripley Cem, and Whittaker Cem. Beyond the valley floor, the landscape rises into the Tioga Hills, dotted with smaller clusters such as Canoe Camp and Lambs Creek. This survey includes revisions from 1969, showing the early reach of the Roosevelt Highway and the Corey Creek Golf Course, reflecting the area's mid-century shift toward automotive travel and recreation.
