1943 Map of Powell

About this map

Towanda Creek carves a deep valley across this portion of Bradford and Sullivan counties, serving as the primary corridor for the Susquehanna & New York RR and U.S. Route 220. The landscape is defined by its upland plateaus and ridges, including Lameka Mtn and Sugar Ridge, where small, isolated settlements like Bumtown and Minerville persist away from the main valley floor. The distribution of Eldred Sch and Sharp Sch among clusters like Eldredsville and Campbellville reflects a mid-century rural school system still deeply integrated into local farm life.
