1949 Map of Renovo West

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a dramatic path through the high plateaus of Clinton County, defining the industrial and transport corridor of the late 1940s. The Pennsylvania Railroad tracks parallel the river, serving the core settlements of Renovo, West Renovo, and South Renovo. This river-level activity contrasts sharply with the surrounding uplands like Drury Ridge and Leidy, where names like Coal Hill hint at the local extraction history. To the west, the settlement of Westport sits at the confluence of the river and Kettle Creek, a vital junction for local travel. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of St Josephs Cem, Noyes Cem, and Robbins Cem, while the Bucktail Trail provides the primary overland connection through this mountainous terrain.
