1945 Map of Meshoppen

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this Wyoming County landscape, carving a dramatic path through the river hills via the sharp Jayne Bend and the broad oxbow known as The Neck. The mid-20th-century economy is clearly visible in the industrial and transport infrastructure lining the banks, particularly the Lehigh Valley corridor. Key railroad landmarks like the Vosburg Tunnel and the Mehoopany Sta indicate the vital role of rail in connecting settlements like Meshoppen and Mehoopany to the wider region.
