1946 Map of Noxen

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Noxen serves as the focal point of this mid-century topographic study, situated along the banks of Bowman Creek at the foot of Noxen Mountain. The landscape is dominated by the high ridgelines of Schooley Mountain and Forkston Mountain, while the southern portion of the sheet reveals the northern shores of Harveys Lake. An Old Railroad Grade and active Railroad lines trace the creek valleys, indicating the area's history of timber or coal transport. Smaller settlements like Stull, Evans Falls, and Beaumont provide a glimpse into the rural community structure of the time, punctuated by landmarks such as the Childrens Welfare Center and Hettesheimer Corners. This 1946 data, updated with 1969 aerial revisions, preserves the transition between the post-war industrial landscape and the developing residential clusters near the Wyoming and Luzerne county line.
