1965 Map of Northumberland

About this map

Northumberland stands at the strategic confluence where the West Branch Susquehanna River meets the main channel, a landscape dominated by the prominent Montour Ridge. This mid-1960s survey, with updates from the early 1970s, captures a region deeply tied to its river and rail corridors. The Reading, Penn Central, and Erie-Lackawanna railroads converge here, supporting local industry and the growth of settlements like Kapp Heights and Montandon. The map preserves local history through markers such as the Sodom Sch (Historic) and the Vincent Mem Chapel.
