1945 Map of Meshoppen

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a winding path through Wyoming and Bradford Counties, creating dramatic geographic features like Quicks Bend and the North Flat. This mid-century landscape is defined by the Lehigh Valley railroad corridor, which follows the river's edge through riverfront settlements like Laceyville, Skinners Eddy, and Meshoppen. The rugged interior is dotted with small hilltop communities such as South Auburn and Silvara, connected by a network of rural roads that link isolated landmarks like the Mehoopany Fire Tower and the Airway Beacon. Local history is preserved in the numerous country schools and churches mapped here, including Edingers Sch and St Bonaventure Ch. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Bartlett Mountain and Forkston Mountain, where the river valley gives way to the densely wooded heights of the Forkston region.
