About this map

The Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads parallel the West Branch Susquehanna River in this 1940s survey of Clinton County. This corridor serves as the primary artery for mountain settlements such as North Bend, Renovo, and South Renovo, where industrial and transit activity centers on the valley floor. The historic Bucktail Trail follows the northern bank, passing St Josephs Ch and the remote Gleasonton station.

Beyond the river, the landscape is defined by the high plateaus of Hyner Mountain and Summerson Mountain. These heights are broken by an intricate drainage network including Young Womans Creek and Hyner Run. Lookout points like Hyner View and the Whetham Fire Tower underscore the region's focus on forest management and conservation during the mid-century. Notable landmarks such as the Hyner Landing Field and Fairview Cem provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists.
