1954 Map of Millerton

About this map

Seeley Creek carves a deep valley through the northern reaches of Tioga and Bradford Counties, defining a landscape of high ridges and narrow agricultural bottoms. In the mid-1950s, the rural community at Millerton served as a central hub, supported by the Township Sch and nearby settlements like Daggett and Jobs Corners. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history preserved in several burial grounds, including the Alder Run Cem and the Judson Hill Cem overlooking Beckwith Creek. The terrain is punctuated by significant heights such as Norway Hill and Saxtons Knob, which separate the drainage of Bear Creek from the surrounding highlands. The layout of these farmsteads and the West Jackson Ch illustrates a classic Appalachian plateau settlement pattern, where life was closely tied to the creek beds and the steep topography of the Tioga foothills.
