About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River acts as the central spine for this mid-1960s study, dividing the industrial and residential core of Milton from the western banks of Union Co. The urban landscape of Milton is densely detailed, showing the Penn Central rail lines and various civic institutions such as the Milton Cemetery and Harmony Cemetery. To the north, the corridor following the river includes the established boroughs of Watsontown and Dewart, while the eastern interior transitions into the agricultural reaches of Turbot and Lewis townships.

Notable transportation infrastructure includes the Milton Airport and the transitioning path of an Old Railroad Grade near Turbotville. The map also captures the rural character of the region through numerous small burial grounds and country churches, such as Messiah Ch in McEwensville. The presence of the Warrior Run High Sch and multiple gravel pits suggests a community balancing education, industry, and the natural geography of Limestone Ridge.
