1946 Map of Renovo West

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Kettle Creek carves a winding path through this corner of the Pennsylvania Wilds, where deep valleys and high ridges like Drury Ridge define the landscape. The mid-1940s settlement pattern shows concentrated activity along the water, from the riverside communities of Renovo and West Renovo to the more isolated mining hamlet of Bitumen. These small clusters are connected by the Bucktail Trail and the Pennsylvania RR, which follows the curves of the West Branch Susquehanna River. For those tracing local family roots, the map identifies small rural institutions such as the Hammersley Fork Sch and the Gospel Camp Ch, alongside several hillside burial grounds like Calhoun Cem and Tamarack Cem. The presence of the Tamarack Fire Tower and various mountain summits like Keeney Mtn highlight the region's historical reliance on forestry and lookout points for land management.
