About this map

Seeley Creek carves a central path through this mid-1950s study of the Tioga and Bradford County borderlands. The landscape is defined by small, dispersed rural settlements such as Millerton, Daggett, and Jobs Corners, each connected by a network of winding roads that follow the contours of Norway Hill and Buck Mtn. The survey captures the social fabric of these farming communities through the inclusion of numerous family and community landmarks, including the West Jackson Ch and the Township Sch.

Genealogists will find particular value in the high density of small burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Wheeler Cem, Miller Cem, and Pumpkin Hill Cem. The interaction between the plateau terrain and watercourses like Hammond Run and Beckwith Creek illustrates how early Pennsylvania settlement patterns were dictated by the available narrow valley floors and the steep rises of knobs like Saxtons Knob.
