1946 Map of Renovo East

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Susquehanna River corridors and deeply incised valleys define this 1946 survey of northern Pennsylvania, where the West Branch Pennsylvania Canal remnants parallel the modern rail lines. The industrial and transit geography of the mid-century is clear, with the Pennsylvania RR and New York Central RR serving settlements like Renovo, South Renovo, and Gleasonton. In this era before the full decline of the coal and timber transport era, the map captures the transition to newer infrastructure, including the Bucktail Trail and the Hyner Landing Field near the river bend. The landscape is dotted with essential forestry and observation landmarks such as the Whetham Fire Tower and Pamp Station Fire Tower, while the intricate drainage of Young Womans Creek and Hyner Run illustrates the difficult terrain that historically funneled development into the river flats and hollows like Shingle Mill Hollow.
