1945 Map of Powell

About this map

Towanda Creek and its many tributaries, including Schrader Creek, cut through the high plateaus of Bradford and Sullivan Counties during this mid-1940s survey. The landscape is defined by its industrial and social infrastructure, from the Barclay Station on the defunct rail line to scattered rural institutions like the Friends Meeting House and Fairview Ch. Evidence of the region’s shifting population is visible in the note for the East Sch (abandoned) near Roundtop Mtn. The map highlights the extensive State Game Lands and the northern reaches of the Tiadaghton State Forest, where a Fire Tower atop Cahill Mtn stands watch over the deep valleys of Long Valley and Deep Hollow. Small agricultural hubs like Granville Center and Franklindale serve as the primary anchors for the network of mountain roads.
