1953 Map of Roseville

About this map

Roseville (Rutland PO) serves as a primary local hub at the intersection of rural townships in northern Pennsylvania, situated near the headwaters of Mill Creek. This 1950s survey captures the region's mid-century landscape, characterized by small dispersed settlements and a network of country churches like Bakersburg Ch and Elk Run Ch. The Roosevelt Highway cuts across the center of the sheet, providing a vital artery through the agricultural terrain of Rutland and Sullivan townships. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Benson Knob and King Hill, while the southeast is dominated by the broad plateau of Armenia Mtn. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of small family or community burial grounds, including Smith Cem and Grey Valley Cem, which remain anchored to the landscape alongside old schools and post offices.
