1943 Map of Montrose

About this map

Montrose serves as the focal point of this 1940s landscape, where the plateaus of Susquehanna County are etched by a dense network of creek branches. The industrial and transit corridor of the Susquehanna River is clearly defined in the northeast, where Hallstead and Great Bend sit along the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad. This rail artery stands in contrast to the rural character of the interior townships like Silver Lake and Franklin, which are dotted with one-room schoolhouses such as Fish Sch and Ward Sch.
