About this map

Westfield serves as the primary hub along the Cowanesque River in this mid-century survey of Tioga County. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage patterns, with numerous named hollows like Brace Hollow and Pritchard Hollow feeding into the main river valley. Transport and industry are evident through the crossing of the Penn Central and Wa&G railroads, as well as the presence of the Malco Airfield and a Television Relay Station on the heights of the Westfield terrain.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of burial sites including River View Cem, Mt Pleasant Cemetery, and the Clark Cem. The transition from rural homesteads to village life is captured in the scattered settlements of Brookfield, Sylvester, and Boom Corners, while local infrastructure is marked by the High Sch and Township Sch, providing a clear record of Tioga County’s social and physical geography before later 20th-century developments.
