1970 Map of Picture Rocks

About this map

Muncy Creek winds through the valley floor, connecting a series of small riverside communities in this 1970 snapshot of Lycoming County. The settlement of Picture Rocks serves as a focal point, supported by nearby hamlets like Glen Mawr, Tivoli, and Bryan Mill. The surrounding terrain is defined by the significant rise of Allegheny Ridge and the Tiadaghton State Forest, where the Loyalsock Trail traverses the high ground. Rural life is anchored by local institutions such as Mapleton Ch, Bethel Ch, and Mt Zion Ch, along with the Ebenezer Cem. In the north, the landscape becomes more secluded, featuring seasonal or recreational outposts like Dunwoody Camp and Camp Genesee near Crystal Lake and Mud Lake. The map reveals a balance between the agricultural and residential pockets in the creek valleys and the heavily forested ridges that dominate the north.
