About this map

Monroeton serves as a central hub in this late 1960s landscape, situated where the Lehigh Valley railroad follows the winding path of Towanda Creek. The geography is defined by a series of prominent peaks and plateaus, including the massive Kellogg Mountain and the high ground of Marcy Point within the Tioga State Forest. This survey captures the rural character of Bradford County before significant modern development, preserving the locations of family burial grounds like Cole Cem and Kellogg Cem.

The map highlights the extensive public lands of northern Pennsylvania, specifically State Game Lands No 240 and State Game Lands No 36, which dominate the southern and central sections. Settlement patterns remain concentrated in the fertile Towanda Flats and along the small crossroads of Liberty Corners and Marshview. Notable landmarks of the era include the Lookout Tower on the heights and a series of radio installations, while various gravel pits and quarries point to the local extractive economy.
