1946 Map of Morris

About this map

Babb Creek carves a deep valley through the high plateaus of northern Pennsylvania, serving as the central artery for settlements like Morris and Hoytville. This mid-century landscape reflects a region defined by its timber and mineral resources, evidenced by the expansive Tioga State Forest and several mines tucked into the northern hills. The terrain is marked by named ridges and peaks such as Tannery Hill, Hickory Ridge, and Texas Mountain, which divide the many smaller runs feeding into the main valley. Smaller hamlets like Lorenton, Doane, and Mt Pleasant dot the roads, while the Crawford Fire Tower stands on a high point in the southern reaches of State Game Lands No 75. The map also preserves the locations of local landmarks like Antrim Cem and Lewis Cem, offering a detailed view of the rural Tioga County community just after the war.
