1932 Map of Penfield

About this map

The Bennett Branch Susquehanna River valley defines the northeastern portion of this 1932 Pennsylvania survey, where the Pennsylvania RR and Pennsylvania State Highway follow the waterway through Penfield and Winterburn. To the southwest, the Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh RR cuts across the divide near Sabula, signaling the region's importance as a transit corridor for natural resources. This landscape is a patchwork of small upland settlements and early conservation efforts, evidenced by the Clearfield Nursery and various public camps. Local life in the early 1930s is visible through the dense network of one-room schoolhouses like Pine Grove Sch and Hickory Hill Sch, alongside religious landmarks such as the Reformed Ch. High points like Boone Mountain and the Smith Fire Tower provide surveillance over the recovering timberlands, while the Airplane Landing Field near Du Bois marks the arrival of aviation to this rural sector.
