1965 Map of Montoursville South

About this map

South Williamsport and Montoursville anchor this mid-1960s study of the West Branch Susquehanna River valley, showing a landscape defined by industrial infrastructure and emerging recreational spaces. The map documents the Williamsport-Lycoming County Airport and the complex layout of the Allenwood Prison Camp (US Penitentiary) to the south. Between the settlements, the steep slopes of Bald Eagle Mountain State Forest are crisscrossed by Skyline Drive and Shaffers Path, leading to landmarks like the Shaffers Path Lookout Tower. Cultural sites such as Lycoming College and the Little League Ball Park indicate the area's role as a regional hub. Significant 1980s updates, shown in purple, capture the expansion of Conrail lines and residential growth in suburban pockets like Kenmar and Faxon.
