1968 Map of Montrose West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Montrose serves as the focal point of this Susquehanna County landscape, where the Corporate Boundary defines the transition from a concentrated town center to the surrounding dairy and agricultural lands. The regional economy is evidenced by the numerous Quarries dotting the hillsides and the presence of the Lehigh Valley railroad line, which skirts the eastern edge through South Montrose. These industrial footprints coexist with the area's natural hydrology, including Big Elk Lake and Little Elk Lake to the south, and the branching headwaters of East Branch Wyalusing Creek. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds such as Prospect Hill Cem and Fair Hill Cem, along with vanished or rural hubs like Snows Mill and Bumps Corners. The inclusion of Zaverton Airfield and modern utilities like the northern Pipeline reflects the mid-century infrastructure growth in this part of Pennsylvania.
