1977 Map of Morris

About this map

Babb Creek and Pine Creek converge in this section of Tioga County, where the settlement of Morris sits at the base of the surrounding highlands. This orthophotoquad, produced from 1977 aerial photography, reveals a landscape defined by the sharp contrast between narrow, winding stream valleys and the broad, cleared agricultural plateaus of Oregon Hill. The image detail captures the precise footprint of small communities like Mt Pleasant and the isolated enclave of Doan, showing how development has followed the topography of the creek beds. For those studying Pennsylvania's rural history, the map provides an exact visual record of field patterns, woodlots, and transport routes as they existed in the late 1970s, before modern reforestation or land-use changes altered these traditional farming and timber corridors.
