USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Sunbury sits at the junction of rail and river in the mid-1950s, anchored by the Pennsylvania Railroad railroad line and the Big Walnut Creek. This period captures the landscape just as the northern reach of the Hoover Reservoir begins to shape the terrain near Galena, indicating a significant shift in local hydrology and land use. The map reveals a dense network of small communities and rural institutions, from the Big Walnut High Sch to numerous country churches like Trenton Ch and Vans Valley Ch.
