1954 Map of Scandia

About this map

The Warren State Hospital grounds and the high timberlands along the Pennsylvania-New York state line define this mid-century landscape. The map captures a transition from the lower elevations of Hatch Run and Akeley Run up toward the massive ridge formations of Quaker Ridge and Goose Ridge. This area is characterized by numerous small, family-named settlements and crossroads such as Lounsbury Corners, Macks Corners, and Clendening Corners, which suggest a localized rural economy during the early 1950s.
