1939 Map of Needmore
USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
Scrub Ridge and Meadow Ground Mountain dominate the central topography of this 1930s landscape, where a dense network of valley settlements follows the winding paths of Licking Creek and Tonoloway Creek. The area reflects a classic Ridge-and-Valley agricultural pattern, punctuated by small country landmarks like Hamiltons Store and the industrial presence of the Big Cove Tannery. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous rural institutions, from McNaughton Sch and Compulsion Sch to numerous houses of worship such as Bethlehem Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. The presence of Anthony Ford and narrow mountain passages like Daves Gap and Deneen Gap reveal the historical transit routes used by residents of Needmore and Warfordsburg before modern infrastructure fully reshaped the region.
