1945 Map of Sinnemahoning

About this map

Sinnemahoning and Driftwood occupy the narrow valley floor at the confluence where the First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek meets the main branch of Sinnemahoning Creek. This 1945 survey, updated with 1970s aerial photography, documents a landscape defined by the Penn Central rail corridor and a dense network of mountain hollows and runs. The distribution of small settlements like Jericho and Wyside alongside the railroad suggests the historical importance of the valley's transit routes through the steep terrain of the Grove and Keating townships.
