1968 Map of Montrose East

About this map

Dairy-land ridges and glacial kettle ponds characterize the landscape of Susquehanna County in this late 1960s study. The county seat of Montrose serves as the primary hub, where the Montrose Area High Sch and a Radio Tower (WPEL) sit above the waters of Lake Montrose. The map documents a significant industrial footprint through dozens of scattered Quarry sites and larger Quarries, illustrating the local stone industry that once fed the region's infrastructure. Small rural intersections like Watrous Corners and Williams Corner anchor the upland farms, while family history is preserved at the Newton Hill Cem and Rosengrants Cem. Transportation patterns are shifting during this period; while the Conrail line continues to follow the valley of Martins Creek, several miles of an Old Railroad Grade signify the retirement of older rail corridors that once linked Tiffany and Alford.
