About this map

Seeley Creek carves a central valley through the northern border of Tioga County, where the Pennsylvania and New York state lines meet. This mid-century survey documents a landscape of high ridges and narrow creek bottoms, characterized by family farms and small crossroad communities. The village of Millerton serves as the local hub, situated near the headwaters where Norway Hill and Hammond Run define the upland topography.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Wheeler Cem, Miller Cem, and Pumpkin Hill Cem. Rural life at this time centered on institutions like the West Jackson Ch and the Township Sch. This mapping illustrates the early alignment of U. S. 15 as it connects several established settlements such as Daggett, Jobs Corners, and Trowbridge, tracing the traditional transport routes before modern interstate development altered the local road network.
