About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River winds through a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows in this mid-century Pennsylvania survey. The rail-oriented community of Renovo and its neighboring settlements, including West Renovo and South Renovo, are positioned along the river flats and the northern bank. Just to the west, the confluence of Kettle Creek and the river marks the site of Westport, while smaller clusters like Shintown and Drury Run follow the narrow valley corridors.

Industrial activity is evident in the upland Strip Mine operations near Robbins Hollow and Butler Hollow. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites, such as St Josephs Cem, Noyes Cem, and Robbins Cem. The area’s rugged character is preserved in the names of prominent elevations like High Knob and Drury Ridge, while the Bucktail Trail provides the primary transit route through this deeply incised topography.
