1959 Map of Reward

About this map

Turkey Ridge and Wildcat Ridge dominate this portion of the Pennsylvania landscape, defining a series of parallel valleys where rural life centered on small settlements and country churches during the mid-20th century. The map reveals a high density of religious and commemorative sites, including Salem Ch, St Matthews Ch, and the Reward Cem, suggesting a well-established network of local congregations. The terrain is characterized by the long, linear forms of Buffalo Mountain and Berry Mountain, which hem in the drainage of Spruce Run and Bargers Run.
