About this map

Mansfield State Teachers College serves as a central anchor for the borough of Mansfield, where the Tioga River flows north toward the Tioga Reservoir. This mid-century survey captures the landscape during a period of transition, showing the newly formed reservoir and the trackage of the Conrail line alongside the footprint of the Erie Lackawanna Railroad (Abandoned). The surrounding townships of Richmond and Sullivan are dotted with family burial grounds and small settlements like Canoe Camp and Lawrence Corners.

The valley floor is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Corey Creek and Mill Creek, which cut through the prominent rises of Big Hill and Austin Hill. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked rural cemeteries such as Ripley Cem, Mainesburg Cem, and Whittaker Cem, which speak to the area's long-established agricultural roots before the expansion of the Pipeline and modern infrastructure reflected in the late-century revisions.
