1946 Map of Renovo West

About this map

The West Branch of the Susquehanna River carves a sharp, winding course through the heart of the Noyes area, dictating the development of the river-valley communities. This mid-century landscape reflects the heavy influence of the Penn Central railroad, which runs parallel to the water through industrial and residential hubs like Renovo and South Renovo. The topography is defined by high elevations such as High Knob and Drury Ridge, cut by numerous drainage basins including Kettle Creek and Two Mile Run. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds, such as Robbins Cem and St Josephs Cem, alongside the St Josephs Ch in the Drury Run vicinity. Strip mining activity is noted near Westport, highlighting the extraction history that shaped this section of Clinton County alongside the vital transit artery of the Bucktail Highway.
