1948 Map of Shumans

About this map

Catawissa Creek meanders through a valley defined by the high ridges of Nescopeck Mountain and McCauley Mountain in this 1948 edition. The landscape is marked by small settlements and rural infrastructure, where the Reading railroad follows the contours of the creek to serve local outposts like Shumans and Mainville. In the southern portion of the map, the community of Kulp and the Roaring Creek Ch sit near the banks of Roaring Creek, reflecting the established farm and church life typical of this part of Columbia County.
