1965 Map of Muncy

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River bends sharply through this central Pennsylvania landscape, dividing the steep terrain of Bald Eagle Mountain from the populated borough of Muncy. This mid-1960s survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates the concentration of civic life in Muncy, featuring landmarks like the Muncy High Sch, Muncy Valley Hospital, and the large Muncy Cem. The presence of the State Correctional Institution near Muncy Station and the Tiadaghton State Forest to the west highlights the varied land use, from correctional and state-managed forest land to industrial areas along the Conrail lines. Smaller settlements like Pennsdale, Lime Bluff, and Delaware Run are connected by a network of rural roads and rail lines, while the Muncy Hills rise to the southeast, framing the valley's agricultural and residential development.
