About this map

The Lehigh Valley railroad cuts through the heart of Susquehanna County in the 1940s, connecting small agricultural and milling hubs across a landscape of high ridges and deep valleys. The village of Springville serves as a central point, surrounded by smaller named settlements and crossroad hamlets like Auburn Four Corners, Kasson Corners, and Lymanville. Industrial and transit history is visible in the placement of Dimock Sta and Lynn Sta, which were vital links for local trade and transport before the mid-century expansion of roads.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Tyler Hill Cem, Quick Cem, and Bunnell Cem. The topography is defined by prominent rises such as Sheldon Hill and Gobblers Knob, while water bodies like States Mill Pond and Lake Crystella highlight the area's reliance on creek networks like the Meshoppen Creek. Educational history is noted at the Wallace Hill Sch, reflecting the distributed nature of rural schooling during this era.
