1969 Map of Monroeton

About this map

The Lehigh Valley railroad corridor and the winding course of Towanda Creek anchor this late 1960s study of Bradford County’s interior. Settlement is concentrated at the village of Monroeton, where the valley widens into the Towanda Flats, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by the steep rises of Kellogg Mountain and Hale Mtn. The map reveals a landscape heavily managed for conservation and recreation, with large tracts designated as Tioga State Forest, State Game Lands No 36, and State Game Lands No 240. For local historians, the sheet identifies rural landmarks such as the Township Sch and several family burying grounds, including Cole Cem and Kellogg Cem. The presence of a Gaging Sta near the creek and several Radio Towers atop the ridges illustrates the modern utility infrastructure integrated into this Appalachian highland.
