1945 Map of Meshoppen

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dramatic path through Wyoming County, creating the deep loops of Jayne Bend and The Neck. Along these bends, the Lehigh Valley railroad dictates the local geography, threading through the Vosburg Tunnel and serving the community at Mehoopany Sta. This mid-century landscape is defined by its industrial transit and rural settlement patterns, with narrow flats like Carney Flat and Grist Flat squeezed between the river and the steep rises of Mehoopany Mountain and Blue Ridge Mtn.
