1956 Map of Owego

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through the southern portion of this mid-century Tioga County survey, defining the industrial and transportation corridor between Owego and Barton. The river's path, marked by features like The Narrows and Squaw Island, is shadowed by the infrastructure of the Erie Railroad and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad. Further north, Catatonk Creek provides a second vital corridor for the Lehigh Valley Railroad through settlements like Candor and Spencer. The map reveals a landscape of high ridges such as Candor Hill and Germany Hill, punctuated by remote rural institutions like Hamilton Sch and the Sulphur Springs Chapel. The density of named hollows and smaller settlements like Halsey Valley and Straits Corners offers a detailed view of the region's agricultural and social fabric before the expansion of modern highways.
